Nats, Phillies lineups

Nats, Phillies lineups
Taylor Jordan gets a tough test tonight, matching up against Phillies starter Cliff Lee and his 3.13 ERA in game two of this three-game set between the Nationals and Phils. Lee has fared well against the Nats over the course of his career, but the Nats got to him for four homers (all solo shots) the last time they faced the left-hander, in Philly back on July 10. The Nats won that game 5-1. Jordan's team-imposed innings limit is quickly approaching; he said after his last outing he thought...

LaRoche in lineup against Lannan (updated)

LaRoche in lineup against Lannan (updated)
The Nationals will face old buddy John Lannan again tonight. But, first baseman Adam LaRoche will take a seat against the lefty. Chad Tracy will play first base tonight. Without Tyler Moore around, the Nats lack a right-handed complement to LaRoche at first base. Lannan returns to D.C. today for the first time since being non-tendered by the Nats this winter. Update: Change of plans. LaRoche is now in the Nats lineup, hitting sixth. For the Nationals: CF Denard Span 3B Ryan...

Werth scratched from Nats' lineup, named NL Player of the Month

Werth scratched from Nats' lineup, named NL Player of the Month
Jayson Werth has been named the National League Player of the Month. He'll celebrate with an unplanned day of rest. Werth has been scratched from the Nationals' lineup for tonight's series opener against the Braves. Manager Davey Johnson said this afternoon that Werth's bruised right hand isn't really much of an issue, but the strained groin that Werth aggravated this weekend in Milwaukee is still bothering him. The Nationals had originally written Werth into today's lineup, but he...

Tracy serving as designated hitter as Nats face Tigers

Tracy serving as designated hitter as Nats face Tigers
DETROIT - Hello from the Motor City, where the weather is gorgeous and the city, not surprisingly, just feels empty. This is the first time I've been to Comerica Park, and for what it's worth, I'm really impressed. Nice layout, decent sight lines and lots of concrete sculptures of tigers all over the place. Got to love that. Tonight's Nationals lineup includes Chad Tracy as the designated hitter, with Tracy hitting ninth. Other than that, the lineup remains the same as it has over the...

Nats sticking with what works

Nats sticking with what works
The Nationals have won two in a row, so why tamper with success? Today's lineup for the finale of a four-game series against the Mets is the same one, minus the starting pitcher, the Nats trotted out last night. The only change is right-hander Taylor Jordan, who's still in search of his first major league victory. Jordan will get a break, with David Wright not in today's Mets lineup. Now, onto today's lineups ... For the Mets: LF Eric Young Jr. 3B Josh Satin 2B Daniel Murphy RF Marlon...

Harper back in Nats lineup

Harper back in Nats lineup
After aggravating his left knee injury in the first game of yesterday's doubleheader, Bryce Harper wasn't in the Nationals lineup for the nightcap, marking the second time he'd been out of the lineup in a four-game span. Harper pinch-hit in the eighth inning of last night's game, however, and he's back in the lineup today as the Nats take on Dillon Gee in the third game of four against the Mets. Gee is 3-0 with a filthy 0.96 ERA against the Nats this season, but that dominance is nothing...

Harper out of Nats lineup for Game 2
Bryce Harper's ailing left knee has knocked him out of the Nationals' starting lineup for the nightcap of today's doubleheader against the Mets. Harper banged the left knee when diving to make a catch on a Daniel Murphy sinking liner in the fifth inning of this afternoon's 11-0 Nationals loss. He was removed for a pinch-runner in the eighth inning. This is the second time in four days that Harper has been out of the Nats' lineup because of left knee issues. He'll miss out on facing...

Harper returns to Nats lineup, so does Desmond (updated)

Harper returns to Nats lineup, so does Desmond (updated)
Bryce Harper is back in the Nationals' lineup today after getting yesterday off to rest his left knee, which he received treatment on recently. Ian Desmond, however, is not in the Nats' lineup for the second straight day. Desmond had hoped to receive a special patch today that he could put on top of the blister that's on his left palm, but the patch wasn't able to arrive this morning. As a result, Desmond will sit out another game and manager Davey Johnson hopes to have his shortstop back...

Harper, Desmond out of Nats lineup

Harper, Desmond out of Nats lineup
Bryce Harper and Ian Desmond have both been held out of tonight's Nationals lineup against the Pirates. Anthony Rendon will get the start at shortstop, and Steve Lombardozzi will be at second. This is the first time Harper is out of the starting lineup since his return from the disabled list in June. He's hitting just .190 with 15 strikeouts in his last 11 games. Prior to tonight, Desmond had played in 99 of the 100 games the Nats had played this season. This will be Rendon's first...

The Nationals lineup with Rick Schu as their hitting coach looks a lot like their lineup when Rick Eckstein was their hitting coach. Bryce Harper will remain atop the lineup today, with Denard Span returning and hitting seventh. Harper will be in left, Span in center. Dan Haren will look to continue his recent turnaround; he's allowed just two earned runs over 11 innings in his last two starts.

LaRoche returns, Harper leading off, Hairston in left

LaRoche returns, Harper leading off, Hairston in left
After missing two games with the flu, Adam LaRoche is back in the Nationals lineup today against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw. LaRoche had been battling the flu for a few days now, an illness that left his body achy and confined him to a back room in the Nats' clubhouse during games so as not to infect his teammates. He returns in time to face the major league leader in ERA (1.98) and WHIP (0.91). LaRoche is 4-for-16 (.250) with a homer and two RBIs in his career against Kershaw,...

LaRoche out of Nats lineup again

LaRoche out of Nats lineup again
Davey Johnson said last night that if Adam LaRoche was healthy enough to return to the Nationals' lineup, he'd bat Bryce Harper in the leadoff spot tonight and move Denard Span down in the order. Well, LaRoche is out of the Nats lineup yet again due to a bout with the flu. And as a result, Span remains in the leadoff spot and Harper is back hitting cleanup for a second straight day. The Nats' lineup is actually the same tonight as it was last night, with the exception of a new starting...

LaRoche not in Nats lineup, Harper hitting cleanup (with Dodgers lineup)

LaRoche not in Nats lineup, Harper hitting cleanup (with Dodgers lineup)
Davey Johnson has done some more tinkering to his lineup for the first game of the second half, and one of the moves makes me wonder if something's up. Adam LaRoche is not in the Nationals lineup today. Chad Tracy will instead play first base. The Nats are facing Dodgers right-hander Ricky Nolasco today, and Tracy (like LaRoche) is a left-handed hitter, so it's not as if Johnson is taking LaRoche out as some sort of platoon. The first game after the All-Star break, LaRoche just isn't in...

Trying to avoid sweep in Miami, Johnson juggles lineup

Trying to avoid sweep in Miami, Johnson juggles lineup
If you're one of those people who gives a cursory glance to a game's lineup, here's a warning: Get ready to blink, rub your eyes and react with general surprise when you see the batting order Nationals manager Davey Johnson has penned for today's first-half finale in Miami. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Johnson - a manager who really likes the sameness of a regular lineup - has juggled things substantially in hopes of avoiding a three-game sweep by the Marlins. A night...
