The 2019 Nats were much looser, once they reached the depths of 19-31 and decided to just start having fun, all the way to a thri

The Nationals placed DJ Herz on the 15-day injured list this morning with a UCL sprain in his elbow, a potential season-ending ailment for the left-hander that would explain his spring training struggles.
