Patrick Corbin Faces Tough Test on Thursday

Washington Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin will be tested on Thursday when he takes the mound on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers are one of the top offenses in baseball and are a dangerous team against left-handed pitching. However, Corbin has pitched well against the Dodgers of late, dating back to his […]

Brian Dozier Collects Three Hits on Wednesday

Washington Nationals second baseman Brian Dozier showed signs of life on Wednesday, going 3-for-4 with a run scored against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The veteran outfielder was cut by the Giants after posting a slash line of .198/.278/.267 with a homer, six RBI and two stolen bases in 30 games for San Fran. At best, he'll provide his new team with outfield […]

Washington Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday.

The Nationals will get Juan Soto back this weekend, so Parra will serve as a […]

Juan Soto Expected Back Saturday

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto (back) played catch on the field on Tuesday, and team officials think he'll be ready to return from the injured list when he's eligible on Saturday. The 20-year-old was forced to the shelf with back spasms, but it looks like he'll return quickly and give the Nats lineup a needed […]

Trea Turner Takes BP Tuesday

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner (finger) took a light round of batting practice on the field on Tuesday for the first time since he fractured his left index finger on April 2. He isn't yet taking full swings and isn't making full throws from shortstop, but he's making good progress and looks to be around […]

Trea Turner is Hitting Off A Tee

The Washington Nationals made several moves Tuesday, activating third baseman Anthony Rendon (elbow) from the 10-day injured list and demoting shortstop prospect Carter Kieboom to make room. The Nationals also placed relief pitcher Tony Sipp on the injured list and called up pitcher Erick Fedde to replace him. Rendon and his .356/.442/.740 slash line should re-enter fantasy […]

Catcher Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 6

With the calendar flipping over to May last week, we as fantasy managers, have to legitimately assess the state of our team's play so far. We now have over a month's worth of sample size to evaluate whether we can chalk a hitter's slow start to either wrongful misfortune or simply genuine failure. If you're […]

Andrew Stevenson Leaves Game Early

Washington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson left the game early on Monday due to back spasms. It's unclear if this injury will force Stevenson to miss extensive time. He was hitless in two plate appearances with a strikeout and has three hits in 15 plate appearances as a reserve so far this season. He's not even […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 5/7/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

As baseball moves closer and closer to the three true outcomes (home runs, walks and strikeouts) the strikeout numbers can be alarming. At this point in the 2019 season, pitchers are averaging 8.9 strikeouts per nine innings, very close to one per inning. By comparison, 20 years ago, in 1999, that number was 6.5 strikeouts […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 6
