The Washington Nationals are mired in a losing streak that just feels like they cannot put together enough runs to make up for the issues with the pitching. We will see if Patrick Corbin has a gem in him and can be a stopper for his team that could use a win in September.

As the dust of the 2023 MLB Draft settles, Washington Nationals fans will spend the offseason on free agency and will turns their attention to the promising minor league top prospects hoping to revitalize and redefine this team. One such prospect is former LSU standout Dylan Crews, now under the banner of the Washington Nationals. But the looming question remains: Can he help to transform the Nationals into postseason contenders next season? That is a high bar, but not out of the realm of possibilities if the right players are signed to the roster this offseason.

There are a lot of pros and cons to being a Season Ticket holder (as well as just being a member with other folks in a larger group).

The Washington Nationals were not sure if Josiah Gray would make his scheduled start today until he threw his side-session when the team returned to Nats Park from Toronto. Manager Dave Martinez declared Gray “good to go” and said he had a good session.
Now the Nats need Gray to be great today so the Nats can end this losing streak. The team is 4-7 since Stone Garrett broke his leg, and the Nats need their magic they had in the previous 38 games with that 24-14 record, to continue.

The Washington Nationals made their two required moves to bring their roster to 28 players for the annual September 1 roster expansion, and Travis Blankenhorn made his impact immediately felt with a game tying home run in the third inning to make it a 3-3 game. The Nats eventually lost in extra innings — a game they seemed to winning with regularity before Stone Garrett broke his leg on August 23. The Nats are a lethargic 4-6 since that point after being 24-14 in the 38 games before that.

The Washington Nationals made their two required moves to bring their roster to 28 players for the annual September 1 roster expansion. There was no top prospect added at this time, but two players get a chance to show what they have. The two additions required three roster moves. Reliever Amos Willingham was added back to the roster, and the position player was Travis Blankenhorn. Since he was not on the 40-man roster, the Nats DFA’d RHP Rico Garcia.

The Washington Nationals have a 7:05 pm game tonight and will submit their lineup card in about 4-to-5 hours from now. They are expected to make left-handed outfielder/first baseman Travis Blankenhorn official as a September 1 callup, as well as a reliever, most likely Amos Willingham to raise the roster to 28-players. To make room for Blankenhorn, the Nats will need to clear a 40-man roster spot — most likely as a DFA. There was no shocking add-ons through a waiver claim or even a promotion of a top prospect like James Wood.
Just kind of — it is what it is — and you hope what Blankenhorn has accomplished in Triple-A translates to MLB. It has not quite worked out that way for Jake Alu or Jacob Young … yet. It didn’t work out for Derek Hill or Blake Rutherford. The game is much harder than it looks, and most players don’t get much of a chance to prove themselves. You better do it quickly. Both Alu and Young have helped the Nats win games already — but then again, so did Jeter Downs and he was sent back to Triple-A and might be the odd man out in a DFA.

The Washington Nationals are finally back home after an exhausting road trip. This game is the first in a 4-game series against the Marlins, and the final game before rosters expand to 28 players tomorrow. With the Nats maintaining a six-man rotation, they have been a man short in the bullpen and will be back up to eight tomorrow with their relievers. Actually make that nine relievers quite possibly tomorrow because LHP Joe La Sorsa is back with the team after MacKenzie Gore departed for bereavement leave.

We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
