Latest news and updates about the Nationals

The Nats snapped a 7 game losing streak with a tight 4-3 win last night. Now they will look to build off that and claim a series win. They have actually been playing fairly well at home and will seek to continue that. The offense will have a tough task against an underrated young pitcher. […]

The Nats have been a chore to watch the last month and a half. We really saw that on display during an 0-6 west coast trip. Many of the games were close, but the Nats consistently found ways to lose. That is just what they have been doing lately. Hopefully that can change at home […]
The San Diego Padres are back in the postseason! They’ll likely go back and forth as the season continues before they face off against the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final Wild Card spot. The Friars swept the Washington Nationals after Jackson Merrill’s two homer day. He finished a double shy of the cycle, with a […]
The 2025 season was a disaster on many levels for the Washington Nationals. However, one of the biggest long term blows came in the farm system. Jarlin Susana and Travis Sykora, the Nats top two pitching prospects both went down with major injuries. Sykora will not pitch this year due to Tommy John, but Jarlin […]
At this point of the season, there is not a whole lot for Nationals fans to be excited about. The team we saw for the first few months of the season is now a distant memory. However, fans do get something to be fired up about once every fifth day when Cade Cavalli is on […]

CJ Abrams could emerge as the Washington Nationals’ next trade piece during the 2026-27 offseason after the club kept the two-time All-Star through the August 3 MLB Trade Deadline. Abrams has since split time between shortstop and second base, while his preference to remain at shortstop long-term could complicate an extension with the Nationals. MLB.com’s […] The post Nationals rumors: Why CJ Abrams offseason trade is becoming increasingly realistic appeared first on ClutchPoints .

The high-leverage arms in the San Diego Padres bullpen of Bradgley Rodriguez, Adrian Morejon and Mason Miller needed a day to sit and watch a game without having to warmup and without having to come into the game to protect and/or save another one-run game. Jackson Merrill gave them that day with a 4-for-5 performance […]
Heading into the season, one of the main questions CJ Abrams had to answer was whether he could sustain his production over a full season. In 2024 and 2025, Abrams was phenomenal before the All-Star break before fading down the stretch. This season, he had his best first half yet, with a .275 average and […]
In 2025, The Pittsburgh Pirates had the third-worst record in the National League at 71-91.

The Buccos had a 72-73 record […]

SAN DIEGO – Six games into his Major League career, Jackson Kent (Nationals’ No. 9 prospect) is still learning the ropes as a starting pitcher. “I think right when you get to the big leagues, that’s when you really start learning,” the rookie Kent said after the Nationals’ 9-2 loss to the Padres. “Learning who you are, learning how to get guys out. Every outing, they’re going to adjust to me and I have to make adjustments to them.” Expos Replica Jersey Giveaway is Saturday! Kent exited the mou...
This road trip has been absolutely miserable. Last night, the Nats made history with their 38th blown save. Now they will look to actually win a game. They are 0-5 on this west coast swing and will look to at least win one game in sunny California. Blake Butera will be making some lineup alterations. […]
