Kyle Finnegan Blows Save, Fading From Fantasy Relevance

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Josiah Gray had another tough start against the Colorado Rockies Friday, giving up five runs on three hits and four walks in 5 1/3 innings.

Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas continued his hot streak Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with a double, a walk, two RBI, and a run scored. Thomas has slashed .306/.397/.528 in 108 at-bats with the Nationals, and he needs to be in fantasy lineups until his hot streak comes to an end. He should contribute in some form […]

Josh Bell Has Three Hits Wednesday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell had another strong game Wednesday, going 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in an 8-6 loss to the Miami Marlins. Bell now has 27 homers on the season, eight of which have come in his last 30 games, during which time he has slashed .296/.412/.574. Bell […]

Alcides Escobar Has Four-Hit Day

Washington Nationals shortstop Alcides Escobar came to the plate six times Wednesday against the Miami Marlins, and he registered four singles with an RBI in an 8-6 loss. It's Escobar's first four-hit game of the season, and while he did not record an extra-base hit, he should score plenty of runs if he keeps this […]

Juan Soto Collects Two More Hits On Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI during an 8-6 loss to the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The 22-year-old has been red hot the past 30 days, posting six homers, 23 RBI, 24 R, and three stolen bases with a .350/.514/.590 line across 100 at-bats. While the slugger […]

He's slashing .301/.392/.524 with 20 runs and 17 RBI over his last 30 games, and fantasy managers simply cannot ignore his production any longer. Despite little pedigree, Thomas is having a major […]

Ryan Zimmerman Homers Against Miami Tuesday

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman hit a prodigious home run to right-center field against the Miami Marlins Tuesday. It was his 14th homer of the season and his only hit in five at-bats. Zimmerman has slashed .297/.321/.604 against lefty pitching this year, making him a viable play on those days when Washington draws a […]

Keibert Ruiz Has Three-Hit Game

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz had the first three-hit game of his career Tuesday, going 3-for-4 with a run scored against the Miami Marlins in an 8-2 victory.

Erick Fedde Strikes Out Eight Marlins Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde had a strong showing against the Miami Marlins Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks in five innings of work with eight strikeouts. He was credited with the win, raising his record to 7-9. Despite this performance, Fedde should still not be an add down the […]

Luis Garcia Gets Day Off Wednesday

Washington Nationals second baseman Luis Garcia is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins, according to MLB.com. It's a rare day off for the rookie, who has started the past 18 days. Garcia is slashing .231/.271/.407 with five home runs over 56 games. The power hasn't quite shown up yet after […]
