Trea Turner Steals 21st Base Of Season

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner swiped a bag against the Colorado Rockies Wednesday, his 21st of the season. He's only been caught three times. Turner also hit a single in four at-bats. Turner is now third in the majors in steals and has a very strong chance to put up a 30-30 season, which just […]

Juan Soto Steals His Sixth Base

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto didn't homer Wednesday, which seems notable, given that he's gone deep five times in his last six games, but he did go 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base. It was his sixth swiped bag of the year in 11 attempts. Fantasy managers were surely hoping for a better […]

Erick Fedde Goes Six Strong Innings Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde rebounded nicely Wednesday after a string of tough starts, throwing six strong innings against the Miami Marlins.

Starlin Castro Not Expected To Return This Season

Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said the team is proceeding as if infielder Starlin Castro will not return this season amidst his domestic-violence allegations. Major League Baseball placed the veteran infielder on administrative leave last week, and it sounds as though he'll remain on that list for the foreseeable future, much like Los Angeles […]

Alex Avila Catching A Bullpen Tuesday

Washington Nationals catcher Alex Avila (calves) is scheduled to catch a bullpen session on Tuesday.

Trea Turner Homers, Drives In Four

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner had a big day by the time the second inning ended Monday, as he tripled and homered in his first two at-bats. For the game, he went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and four RBI. The homer was his 18th of the season. Turner has been on fire over his […]

Alcides Escobar Scores Three Times In Blowout Monday

Washington Nationals infielder Alcides Escobar scored three runs against the Miami Marlins Monday, going 2-for-3 with a walk. The light-hitting infielder hasn't been a fantasy contributor for years, dating back to his days with the Royals, but he may be playing himself into roster consideration at the top of the suddenly-potent Nationals lineup. Fantasy managers […]
