Lane Thomas Leading Off In Saturday's Game

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas will hit leadoff for the first time this year in Saturday's game against left-hander Alex Wood and the San Francisco Giants.

Aaron Sanchez To Start On Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez will take the mound for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 29-year-old will be making his team debut after pitching well in the minors. Sanchez posted a 3.60 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 10/5 K/BB ratio across 15 innings in Triple-A.

Stephen Strasburg Throws 27-Pitch Bullpen Session

Washington Nationals right-hander Stephen Strasburg (neck) threw a 27-pitch bullpen session in West Palm Beach, Florida on Friday. Strasburg made just five starts in 2021 before undergoing surgery to alleviate thoracic outlet syndrome. The veteran right-hander and the Nationals were initially hoping to have him back in early May but that timetable seems unlikely given […]

Bullpen Report: Speculating on the Red Sox, Twins, Giants, and More

While many early-season trends in baseball can be dismissed as hot or cold starts, bullpens are the one thing you should always pay close attention to and get actionable information. So much of what makes relievers valuable in fantasy is the usage and opportunities they receive. This year, perhaps more than ever, there were more […]

Washington Nationals reliever Tanner Rainey picked up his third save of the season Tuesday, pitching the ninth inning of the 1-0 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
