Washington Nationals catcher Yan Gomes will get the start behind the plate against the Reds on Friday and will hit eighth against starting pitcher Tyler Mahle.

Angels To Use Luis Garcia As Opener For Felix Pena Thursday

Howie Kendrick Drives In Four Runs

Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick took advantage of his second consecutive start on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with a double, sacrifice fly, hit-by-pitch, one run scored, and four driven in to help Washington defeat the Atlanta Braves 14-4. Kendrick doesn't play very often in order to preserve his health, but he's been dangerous when in the […]

Trea Turner 3-for-6 on Wednesday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner went 3-for-6 with his first triple and eighth stolen base of the season in the team's 14-4 demolition of the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Turner scored two of the runs and raised his season line to .288/.333/.466 through just 17 games. He's set quite a stolen base pace and is […]

Anibal Sanchez Surprises in Return from Injured List

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez retired the first 16 batters he faced Wednesday in his first game after a hamstring injury. Sanchez went six innings, allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out seven on 80 pitches. Backed by 14 runs, he easily got his first win of the season in Washington's […]

Anibal Sanchez Activated, Starting Wednesday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez (hamstring) has been activated from the 10-day injured list. Sanchez missed 10 days due to a left hamstring strain. He's posting a 5.10 ERA this season, so he won't be a reliable fantasy option. He'll draw the start versus the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. He should be avoided in […]

Jeremy Hellickson Shut Down With Shoulder Soreness

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jeremy Hellickson (shoulder) has been shut down with renewed right shoulder soreness. The veteran right-hander had been throwing long toss after going on the injured list but was having trouble "bouncing back," according to manager Dave Martinez. There's no timetable for Hellickson's return. The 32-year-old doesn't belong on mixed league rosters […]

Brian Dozier Sitting Out Against Atlanta

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier is taking the day off on Wednesday. Howie Kendrick is hitting fifth in his place and is starting at second base against Braves starting pitcher Kevin Gausman.

Power Hitting Risers & Fallers for Week 9 - Buy or Sell?

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 27th (unless otherwise noted).
