Daniel Hudson Expected To Travel With Team

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson (elbow) is expected to travel with the organization for their upcoming road trip. The 34-year-old is currently on the 10-day injured list while dealing with right elbow inflammation.

Bell's Best Bets - MLB Betting Picks for 6/20/21 (Premium Content)

Hey RotoBallers! Hope all is well in your world. Unfortunately it's the same old song and dance over here after Week 11. Six out of the seven days last week were what I would call "productive" in that I either profited some or broke even on a play or two that could've swung either way. […]

Max Scherzer Feels Good After Bullpen Session Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (groin) was feeling good after his bullpen session on Saturday and expects to start on Tuesday, according to Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports.

Erick Fedde Fires Seven Shutout Innings

Stephen Strasburg Plays Catch Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg (neck) was able to play catch on Saturday. It's encouraging to see Strasburg throwing over the last week or so, but he's not exactly close to returning. He is dealing with a neck strain that is likely going to sideline him until some point during the second half of […]

Max Scherzer Scheduled To Throw On Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (groin) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. He was able to throw off flat ground on Friday and could possibly be ready to make his next start on Tuesday.

Max Scherzer Throws On Flat Ground Friday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer (groin) threw some pitches off of flat ground in right field of Nationals Park on Friday.

Andrew Stevenson Lands On 10-Day Injured List

The Washington Nationals placed outfielder Andrew Stevenson (oblique) on the 10-day injured list due to a strained oblique.

MLB Betting Picks for Friday 6/18 - Moneylines, Totals, and Runlines

Last Friday and Saturday saw us go 4-for-7 to have a profitable start to the weekend.
