To say this was an eventful week for the Nationals would be a gross understatement. The organization made a number of significant transactions that lowered the age of the big league roster. James Wood made his major league debut. Brady House was promoted to Triple-A. Several veterans were dropped from the roster. CJ Abrams earned his first All-Star
Refresh my memory, please. Is the All-Star break the official or unofficial halfway point of the season? Because you also have the 81-game mark, which is mathematically halfway. It’s so confusing. But not as much as Craig Kimbrel’s exclusion from the Midsummer Classic. Yeah, we’re going back to that topic before tonight’s series opener against the
They would never say it publicly, but the Nationals sure could’ve used a day off at the end of a long, disgustingly hot homestand. Instead, the schedule-makers had them play back-to-back, four-game series, including this wraparound set against the Cardinals that started Friday evening and ended early this evening with a result that felt a bit too p

Desperate for a fresh bullpen arm, especially one who could pitch multiple innings if needed, the Nationals recalled right-hander Joan Adon from Triple-A Rochester before today’s game, a move that also resulted in the demotion of left-hander DJ Herz. Playing their 11th game in a stretch of 17 consecutive scheduled game days, the Nats knew their pit
The Washington Nationals recalled right-handed pitcher Joan Adon from Triple-A Rochester and optioned left-handed pitcher DJ Herz to Triple-A Rochester on Monday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement. Adon, 25, returns to the Nationals after tossing scoreless relief in five straight outings
It’s been a long and eventful homestand, with a pair of four-game series and a whole lot of news, both involving the roster and the All-Star Game. And it finally comes to an end this afternoon with one more game against the Cardinals. A win would leave the Nationals with a 4-4 record on the homestand, which, all things considered, would be fine. No
When he got off to a sensational start to his 2024 season, outfielder Colton Cowser was showing for the first time that he might be a good big league player. Showing it, not in minor league games, but at the big league level. But even he had to realize it might not always go as well as it was then, or he might not be able to make it look as easy as
