Game 122 lineups: Nats at Braves (Zimmerman activated)

Game 122 lineups: Nats at Braves (Zimmerman activated)
ATLANTA - They're not 100 percent healthy, but the Nationals are getting closer. And for the first time in a while, they've got a fully healthy lineup at their disposal. That's because Ryan Zimmerman has been activated off the disabled list (as has Jose Lobaton, for that matter). A.J. Cole and Pedro Severino were optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to clear roster space for both returning players. Dusty Baker could go with a lineup of regulars tonight against the Braves, but he won't do that...

Game 121 lineups: Nats at Braves

Game 121 lineups: Nats at Braves
ATLANTA - The Nationals look to make it two in a row tonight against the Braves, but they'll do so without the league's leading hitter or their veteran first baseman in the starting lineup. Daniel Murphy gets a rare (but deserved) night off. That's not a huge surprise. But the lack of Ryan Zimmerman in the lineup is a surprise, given that Dusty Baker yesterday said there was a "good chance" he and Jose Lobaton would be activated off the disabled list, not to mention that both players were...

Game 120 lineups: Nats at Braves (Cole up, Goodwin down)

Game 120 lineups: Nats at Braves (Cole up, Goodwin down)
ATLANTA - Hello from Turner Field, which is in full countdown mode right now. There are only 22 Braves games left to be played in this ballpark. The bad news: The Nationals will be here for seven of those games, with a four-game series this weekend and then another three-game set next month before they shut down the place for good and move to a new park in the northwest Atlanta suburbs. The Nats come here reeling a bit from a taxing three days at Coors Field in which the bullpen was forced to...

Orioles and Red Sox lineups

Orioles and Red Sox lineups
Hyun Soo Kim is starting in left field tonight and batting ninth against Red Sox left-hander David Price. Kim is 0-for-14 versus left-handers this season. However, as I wrote this morning, Nolan Reimold is 4-for-33 (.121) with a home run and 13 strikeouts against Price. Chris Davis stays in right field, with Steve Pearce at first base and Mark Trumbo serving as the designated hitter. Dylan Bundy ranks sixth among American League rookie pitchers with 68 strikeouts. For the Orioles Adam Jones CF...

Game 119 lineups: Nats at Rockies
DENVER - The Nationals and Rockies wrap up their three-game set on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon in the Mile High City with the Nats seeking their 11th road series victory. The Nationals are 24-13 in series finales. Right-hander Stephen Strasburg faces right-hander Jon Gray, who were each recipients of the College Baseball Hall of Fame Pitcher of the Year Award. Strasburg with the honor in 2009 and Gray in 2013. The Nationals will need Strasburg to go long in this game after using eight...

Game 117 lineups: Nats at Rockies

Game 117 lineups: Nats at Rockies
DENVER - Greetings from the Mile High City and Coors Field! Remember, the purple line of seats in the upper deck designates the 5,280 foot mark here at the stadium. The welcome sight of right fielder Bryce Harper back in the Nationals lineup Sunday had to be a good thing for his teammates and an uncomfortable one for the Rockies and their pitching staff. Right-hander Max Scherzer will make his 25th start of the season, and he's been enjoying a hot streak the past month and a half. Since June...

Game 116 lineups: Nats vs. Braves (Harper starting)
It is going to be yet another scorcher today at Nationals Park. And this time they'll be playing under direct sunlight, with temperatures heading into the upper 90s and the heat index approaching 110. (Think these guys might be just a bit eager to head west to the drier, thinner air of Colorado?) Before they can turn their attention to the Rockies and the upcoming road trip, the Nationals have some business to take care of today. They're trying to win the rubber game of their weekend series...

Game 115 lineups: Braves at Nats

Game 115 lineups: Braves at Nats
Just another Saturday night for the first-place Nationals, right? Not really. Former closer Jonathan Papelbon requested his release. He got that release at 3 p.m. The Nationals activated right-hander Reynaldo Lopez. He will make his third major league start, seeking his first win. This would seem to be his best chance to date to earn that first victory: a last-place team filled with guys he could have faced at the minor league level, plus Lopez has two starts under his belt and comes in with...

Game 114 lineups: Nats vs. Braves
It's now Day 6 of the Bryce Harper Stiff Neck Watch, and the end result is the same: He's not in the lineup. You've got to think the Nationals are reaching a critical point in this process. If they can't be certain Harper is on the verge of returning, they're going to have to consider the disabled list. Tonight's series opener against the Braves features Stephen Strasburg on the mound, seeking his 16th victory. He'll be attempting to do that in some of the most extreme weather conditions...

Game 113 lineups: Nats vs. Indians
It's going to be a scorcher this afternoon when the Nationals and Indians wrap up their brief, two-game series with a late-afternoon start on South Capitol Street. Temperatures are going to top 90 degrees, and the humidity is off the charts, as well. So if you've got tickets, take all the necessary precautions. After losing 3-1 last night, the Nationals will try to rediscover their lost offensive production, though they'll again have to do it with a depleted lineup. Bryce Harper is out for...

OAKLAND - The Orioles are breaking out their standard left-handed lineup for tonight's game against the Athletics. Hyun Soo Kim is batting second and playing left field. Chris Davis is the cleanup hitter. Pedro Alvarez is the designated hitter. Pretty standard stuff here. Matt Wieters is catching and batting seventh.

Game 112 lineups: Nats vs. Indians
The Nationals are back to work tonight, hosting the Indians in the opener of a two-game interleague series, the second half of their head-to-head matchup that included two games in Cleveland a couple weeks ago. The two clubs split that series at Progressive Field, but only because of Jonathan Papelbon's blown save in the opener. Obviously, things have changed a bit since then. Max Scherzer, who did not pitch in that first series, takes the mound tonight and looks to continue his recent surge...

For the first time this season, Mark Trumbo is not in the Orioles starting lineup. Trumbo is 0-for-9 with six strikeouts lifetime against White Sox starter James Shields. Pedro Alvarez returns to the lineup after sitting out last night's game and will bat sixth as the designated hitter. Chris Davis is back in the cleanup spot and Matt Wieters will start at catcher and bat seventh. Dylan Bundy will try to win his second straight start in today's series finale. He is 2-1 with a 1.53 ERA in his...

Game 111 lineups: Nats vs. Giants
Bryce Harper is not in today's lineup for the Nationals. That shouldn't come as a huge surprise, given the fact Harper left last night's game after six innings with a stiff neck he said has been bothering him for several days. Combine that with his ongoing struggles at the plate and the presence of Madison Bumgarner on the mound today for the Giants, and this just seems like a good time for a day off for Harper. The Nationals lineup, though, is left depleted. Danny Espinosa, who has slumped...

Game 110 lineups: Nats vs. Giants
Is tonight's game more important than the typical game? Well, it could be. You see, with a win tonight the Nationals would win the season series from the Giants, and that could come into play this fall should the two teams end up tied in the standings. If you think it's pointless to consider such miniscule possibilities, just know the manager cares about these kinds of things. "This is big," Dusty Baker said. "For those of us that have been in the playoffs many times, you realize how...

How long has been since the Nationals last played at home? Well, in their most recent game at Nationals Park, Lucas Giolito started and lasted only 3 1/3 innings, Michael A. Taylor started in center field, Jonathan Papelbon took the loss, Trea Turner in center field was in its early experimental phase and the Nats held a 4 1/2-game lead in the National League East. As the late, great Troy McClure said on the The Simpsons' 138th Episode Spectacular: "Ha ha ha, they haven't changed a...

Steve Pearce makes his 2016 Orioles debut tonight, starting in right field and batting sixth against Rangers left-hander Cole Hamels. Pearce is 1-for-6 with a double and three strikeouts lifetime against Hamels. Nolan Reimold is in right field and Mark Trumbo is the designated hitter. Trumbo, batting cleanup tonight, is 3-for-34 in his last nine games. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Dylan Bundy is only the second Orioles rookie to go at least seven innings and allow no more than one hit...

Game 108 lineups: Nats at Diamondbacks
PHOENIX - The Nationals have already secured a winning road trip. Now they'll try to sweep the Diamondbacks and head home with a 6-3 record after their long and eventful swing through Cleveland, San Francisco and Arizona. Max Scherzer takes the mound against the club that drafted him way back in 2006. He's been on quite a run lately: 3-1 with a 1.09 ERA in his last six starts. He may need to be in top form again today, because the Nationals are fielding a lineup that is lacking Ryan...

Game 107 lineups: Nats at Diamondbacks (Harper scratched)
PHOENIX - The Nationals lineup exploded for 14 runs on 19 hits (none of them homers) last night in their rout over the Diamondbacks. They certainly didn't wind up needing that much offense to win the series opener, but Dusty Baker wasn't concerned about that. "I know a lot of people say, 'Why don't you save some runs for tomorrow?' " the manager said. "But I hope that they memorize how to do that." We'll see if there's any carryover effect tonight against left-hander Robbie Ray, who...
