Latest news and updates about the Nationals
The Red Sox have a couple of streaks on the line tonight as they’ve won five games in a row and are also riding a string of 12 consecutive quality starts from their starters. Extending each will be tricky business though because the Nationals lead all of baseball in both runs scored and RBI. Even […]
The Nationals placed left-hander Mitchell Parker on the 15-day injured list yesterday with elbow inflammation. It seems he is slated to miss far longer than 15 days, however. Manager Blake Butera told reporters today that the lefty has a Grade 3 sprain of his ulnar collateral ligament and will mostly likely require Tommy John surgery. […]
The Nats are in a seemingly endless search for quality MLB relievers, so every time I see an interesting one, I will write about it. After the disaster against the Phillies, the Nats decided to recall Zak Kent. He has fired two scoreless innings since coming back, and has a unique arsenal I want to […]

It’s hard to think about the Major League Baseball trade deadline and not think about Minnesota Twins first baseman Josh Bell. After three straight years of getting traded at the deadline, Bell saw a season out with the Washington Nationals in 2025. However, this year, it’s trending toward another summer changing uniforms for the switch […] The post MLB’s Most-Traded Bat Is Trending Toward Another New Home appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Red Sox are on their hottest stretch of the season.Fresh off a stunning four-game sweep of the Yankees, Boston welcomed the Washington Nationals to Fenway Park on Monday night and picked up right where it left off.
In a flash, the Boston Red Sox jumped out to a lead against the Washington Nationals on Monday night, courtesy of a first-inning home run from Willson Contreras. Almost just as quickly, Contreras was ejected in the second inning, seemingly without saying a word.After the game, Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy attempted to explain […] The post Red Sox Manager Chad Tracy, Umpire Nic Lentz Address Willson Contreras Ejection appeared first on HEAVY .
The Red Sox entered the game having just swept the Yankees. They faced the Nationals who have one of the best offenses in baseball, but who have the same run differential coming into Monday’s game as the Red Sox (+5). Ranger Suarez looked to continue Boston’s streak of pitching that has been absolutely nails in […]
The Boston Red Sox win their fifth consecutive game with a 6-3 victory over the Washington Nationals.
After getting back on track in Baltimore, the Nats continue their road trip against another AL East foe. They head up to Boston to face a Red Sox team who just completed a 4 game sweep over the Yankees. However, for most of this season, the Red Sox have been inconsistent at best. With a […]
It’s been almost four full years that I’ve been an Over The Monster staff writer, and true story: I’ve never written a pre-game thread. That is, until Bryan Joiner called to the bullpen late, and I “accepted the trade for a player to be named later” or “cash considerations.” Two different metaphors, I know. But, […]
The Nationals announced that right-hander Jhancarlos Lara cleared outright waivers and has been assigned to Double-A Harrisburg. This is his first career outright assignment and he has less than three years of service time, so he does not have the right to elect free agency. Lara, 23, is a power arm with control issues. The […]
A former New York Mets coach is raising serious concerns...
The Nationals and Red Sox have been connected in a big way this season, mostly due to the new Washington President of Baseball Operations, Paul Toboni, spending the majority of his front office career in Boston. While neither Jake Bennett nor Luis Perales will appear in this series, the two pieces in Toboni’s first trade […]
The Carlos Mendoza firing, along with a Juan Soto allegation, are the latest black marks against New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor.
Both in the big leagues and on the farm, the Nationals have more hitting talent than pitching. However, that does not mean there are no interesting arms in the system. Today, I wanted to highlight one of the most intriguing arms on the farm in Yoel Tejeda. The 6 ‘8 righty has developed from an […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the O’s just lost a series that they absolutely should have won, all because they did a whole lot of dumb stuff. The Birds’ latest embarrassment came against their regional rival Nationals, who completed a season series win, four games to two. The […]
Today’s 6-4 loss to the Nationals dropped the Orioles to 39-46, but Baltimore remains only three games out of a wild card spot in the underwhelming American League. Ten of the 15 AL clubs have losing records, leaving the Orioles still in striking distance of the playoffs if they can finally get on any kind […]
BALTIMORE–What happened? Kyle Bradish wanted Sunday’s game to be a continuation of his last two starts when he allowed just one run in 15 2/3 innings. He retired the first eight batters before wildness set in. Bradish equaled a career high with five walks and allowed four runs on just one hit in the Orioles’ […]
After three demoralizing games in a row against the Phillies, it was back to business for the Washington Nationals. They grinded out yet another road series win, this time against the Orioles. Luis Garcia Jr. is the hottest hitter in all of baseball right now, and he carried the offense in this one. As mentioned, […]
The Baltimore Orioles have had a frustrating 2026 MLB season thus far, currently sitting at 39-45 ahead of Sunday afternoon’s series finale against the Washington Nationals at home. The Orioles have played the last several games without catcher Adley Rutschman, who sustained a concussion in a recent game against the Seattle Mariners on June 18. […] The post Orioles make Adley Rutschman injury move appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Nats got a much needed win to stop the bleeding last night. Now, they will look to get back to their series winning ways this afternoon. The boys have a rubber match with the Orioles. Both teams could really use this win, so this should be a hard fought contest. Blake Butera is making […]
Adley Rutschman and Dylan Beavers will both return to the field this afternoon as the Orioles look to win the series against Washington. Baltimore activated Rutschman and Beavers earlier today. They optioned Jeremiah Jackson to Triple-A Norfolk and designated Sam Huff for assignment. Rutschman missed over a week after taking a ball to the head, […]
BALTIMORE—The Orioles reinstated catcher Adley Rutschman from the 7-day concussion injured list and outfielder Dylan Beavers, who’d been on the 10-day injured list with a strained right oblique muscle. Both are in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Washington Nationals. The Orioles optioned utility player Jeremiah Jackson to Triple-A Norfolk and designated catcher Sam […]
