The New York Mets have really taken to their role as a spoiler. The Mets earned a sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 4-3 victory Sunday at Citi Field, likely putting the nail in the coffin of a Nationals’ season that had already been trending downward. Christian Scott had a quality start, Luis Torrens […]

Yovanny Cruz and Will Dion were both picked up by the Nats at the deadline, but they are very different pitchers. Cruz is a flamethrower who averages 100 MPH, while Dion only sits at 91. However, Dion’s fastball is more effective, and it is not even close. I wanted to look at why Dion’s softer […]
The rollercoaster that has been the 2026 Washington Nationals is one that has been defined by the pitching staff. Consistency has been incredibly hard to come by, and the highest highs have been paralleled by lows that often sit among the league’s worst. Finding any sort of reliable pitching has been a year-long struggle, and […]

Playing some catch-up on roster moves in a busy week, we had resolution for three players were designated for assignment by the Dodgers in the last week. Wyatt Mills was designated for assignment on Monday when the Dodgers needed to clear 40-man roster space after a flurry of trade deadline deals. On Thursday the right-hander […]
These last two wins have been key in stabilizing the Nats season, which looked to be going off the rails. Between selling at the deadline and that miserable road trip, the playoffs are highly unlikely, but the Nats have righted the ship. Surprisingly, their pitching staff has been a big reason for that. The back […]
After a big win last night, the Nats will look to build on that performance tonight. It will be a tough task though. The Nats are facing one of the best young pitchers in the game in Chase Burns. However, the offense has started to look a bit better the last three games. The Nats […]
PHILADELPHIA — Aaron Nola will take the ball for the Phillies Saturday evening, set to be opposed by three-time Cy […]
Nats first round pick Chris Hacopian will be making his minor league debut tomorrow. Interestingly, it will not be in Fredericksburg. Instead, the local kid will be skipping over Low-A and will join the Wilmington Blue Rocks. The old regime would always send draft picks to Low-A first, even if it were only for a […]
Last night Nats fans saw something odd and unique. We saw the back end of the Nationals bullpen come in and lock down a game. The trio of Yovanny Cruz, Orlando Ribalta and Clayton Beeter were lights out last night. They did not allow a single hit in their three innings of work. It was […]
The Chicago White Sox have added outfield depth after a player nobody else wanted. The White Sox agreed to terms on a minor league contract with outfielder Joey Wiemer, who will report to Triple-A Charlotte. Wiemer had been placed on release waivers by the Washington Nationals earlier in the week and cleared unclaimed after the standard 48-hour window, meaning no team was willing to add him to their 40-man roster before Chicago picked him up as a free agent instead. A Scorching Start That ...
After a brutal road trip, the Nats are back home and finally playing a team from outside the division. They have actually had a good amount of success against the Reds in the past few years. However, the Reds are hot and the Nats are not. Despite a righty being on the mound, Blake Butera […]
August 7: The Nats announced that they have requested unconditional release waivers on Littell. August 5: The Nationals have designated righty Zack Littell for assignment, the team announced. His spot on the roster goes to right-hander Brad Lord, who’s returning from a stint on the 15-day injured list. Littell, 30, has pitched 112 1/3 innings […]
Yesterday we got some more bad news on the injury front. Big trade acquisition Connelly Early was shut down from his rehab after feeling forearm tightness. The team insists it is minor and that they are not concerned. However, that is certainly not the update you want to hear. Despite the messaging about the team […]
The Nationals ended a difficult road trip with a 7-3 loss to the Phillies on Thursday afternoon, dropping three of four in Philadelphia and eight of their last nine games overall. Miles Mikolas allowed six runs and a season-high 12 hits over five innings, while the Phillies collected eight doubles among their 16 hits. The […]
The Philadelphia Phillies don’t want to get any long-term injuries at this point of the season, and they recently had a scare with Andrew Painter. The right-hander suffered a left hamstring injury earlier in the week, and he had to leave the game as they eventually lost to the Washington Nationals, 10-4. They received good […] The post Phillies’ Andrew Painter receives big injury update from Don Mattingly appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Phillies beat the Nationals 7-3 on Thursday night, and my big takeaway, once again, is that Luis Arraez is the man. This guy rules. He’s had an RBI in his first three games with the Phils. It’s so fun to watch him enter the batter’s box and actually feel confident he’s going to do […] The post Luis Arraez Adds to His Phillies Legend by Leaping Over the Tag at Home Plate, Running Right to the Dugout appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Nats playoff dreams got buried this week with a 1-7 road trip against the Braves and Phillies. These veteran laden squads taught the young Nats a lesson and showed they were not ready yet. In a season where the Nats have taken so many steps in the right direction, winning against divisional foes remains […]
On Thursday, Washington Nationals veteran starting pitcher Miles Mikolas reached a milestone, as he has now 10 years of service time in the big leagues. This is not the easiest feat to accomplish, as this speaks volumes to Mikolas’ durability and reliability that he remains a contributor in the big leagues even now that he’s […] The post Nationals’ Miles Mikolas celebrates 10 years of MLB service with unique request appeared first on ClutchPoints .
PHILADELPHIA — Phillies ace Cristopher Sánchez won his 15th game of the season on Thursday night in a 7-3 win over the Washington Nationals. He is keeping up with Roy Halladay’s 2011 pace in wins. Halladay, who finished second in NL Cy Young voting that year, reached 15 wins through 24 starts and 115 team […]
The Phillies offense pounded out eight doubles on 16 total hits to dispatch the Nationals and take the four-game series with a final score of 7-3. It was the most doubles Philadelphia has had in a game since September 6th of 2024 when they also had eight in a game against Marlins. Bryson Stott led […]
Jaylen Brown has made the switch. He was a Boston icon when he played alongside Jayson Tatum with the Celtics, but those days are in the past. Brown was traded by the Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers and he made his debut with his new team Thursday as he met the media.
