Ildemaro Vargas will begin a rehab assignment this week after getting placed on the 10-day injured list just over two weeks ago due to a left shoulder strain.
The 31-year-old infielder was just 1-for-12 (.083) on the season before being placed on the injured list, with Jeter Downs taking his spot on the 26-man roster.

The Washington Nationals have another chance to do something special today and sweep a series for the first time since August 2021. Yes, another chance. The Nats had taken the first two games from the Minnesota Twins last week, but could not complete the sweep on Sunday. Now, the Nats get another bite at the apple against the New York Mets. The last time the Nats swept a 3-game series was in July 2021 before that infamous trade deadline.

Just miles from New York City, Josiah Gray grew up in one of the toniest suburbs in America in Westchester County. It does not mean that he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth or had it easy. He lost his father to cancer just after he was drafted in the second round of the 2018 draft.

That emptiness never leaves when a loved one departs too soon. Last night his father was definitely with him in that celestial way when he delivered a pitch that might have reshaped his pitching life.

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.
If you’d like a full side-by-side comparison of the platforms and the reasons behind this decision, please refer to the chart below. This change is being made with the long-term benefit of the entire community in mind.
