Ryan Zimmerman Smacks First 2021 Homer

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman went 1-for-4 with a walk and a two-run home run on Wednesday. Batting third for the first time since 2018, Zimmerman brought his early season line to .346/.370/.500. Zimmerman has played more often than expected so far this season due to Josh Bell missing time during the team's coronavirus […]

Joe Ross Tosses Six Shutout Innings

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross is off to a hot start in 2021, throwing six shutout innings in his second start of the year Wednesday. He allowed just four hits and a walk with five strikeouts on 89 pitches, nine of which produced swinging strikes as Ross hit 94 mph with the sinker. Ross […]

Victor Robles Batting Ninth Wednesday

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles has been moved from first to ninth in the team's batting order for Wednesday's game. Trea Turner and Juan Soto move up one spot to first and second, respectively. One spot makes no real difference in Turner and Soto's immense fantasy value, but falling eight spots is not good for […]

Trea Turner Having Some Early Strikeout Woes

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner hasn't shown great plate discipline through the early going this year. Through eight games, he has a 24.2% strikeout rate, up from 13.9% last year. He's struck out twice in each of his past two games. His walk rate so far this year (3%) is also well below where it […]

Juan Soto With A 1.114 OPS Through Eight Games

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto has been in midseason form out of the gate this year. Through eight games, he's slashing .370/.485/.630 with two home runs, six RBI and seven runs. His plate discipline has been exceptional as always with a 15.2% strikeout rate and an 18.2% walk rate. He has an average fly ball/line […]

Victor Robles Adds Two More Strikeouts

Washington Nationals center fielder and current leadoff hitter Victor Robles has now struck out five times in his last two games after Tuesday's 0-for-3, bringing his season total to eight in eight games. He is 6-for-28 on the year with just one extra base hit, a triple, although he has walked four times. As long […]

Stephen Strasburg Blasted Tuesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg had a bad night Tuesday, to put it mildly: four innings, eight runs (seven earned), and five walks with three homers allowed. He allowed as many home runs as he got swinging strikes in 88 pitches. Strasburg was great in his season debut and is still someone to start […]

Brad Hand Earns First Save On Monday

Washington Nationals closer Brad Hand earned his first save of the 2021 season on Monday. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two. It was his second appearance of the season and first save opportunity. The Nationals have only played seven games so far this year and […]
