What positives can be taken away after an underwhelming road trip? The Washington Nationals split their doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday after falling in the nightcap, giving the team a 9-13 record and leaving them with a 4-6 mark on their road trip. That trip was a great opportunity for the team to rack up a lot of victories, facing the Miami Marlins, Pittsburgh Pirates, and the Rockies, none of whom are really expected to be competitive teams this season.

The road to recovery is just beginning for DJ Herz. Earlier this week, the Washington Nationals finally received the tough news that had been expected for a little while: DJ Herz would be undergoing Tommy John Surgery. It is an absolute gut punch for the young lefty starter, who flashed tremendous upside in 2024 and was expected to compete for a rotation spot in spring training this season.

Could this player potentially be in the cards for the Nationals? On Friday, Baseball America released their official Mock Draft 2.0, and with the Washington Nationals holding the keys to the 2025 MLB Draft with the first overall pick, there is a ton of intrigue to the latest prediction. While in years past, there was a pretty clear cut top talent atop the draft, with guys like Paul Skenes, Dylan Crews, and Travis Bazzana, this crop of prospects currently does not have a standout option.

Will Andry Lara get an opportunity to make his big league debut on Sunday? While Friday's game between the Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies was postponed due to some inclement weather in Denver, MLB announced that the teams will make up the game on Sunday by playing a doubleheader. As part of playing a doubleheader, both teams are able to bring up a 27th man to their active roster for the games, in order to give the teams an opportunity to take the load off a couple guys.

It's still too early to panic, but the start for this top prospect is certainly concerning. Since being drafted with the 10th overall selection back in the 1st round of the 2024 MLB Draft, former Wake Forest infielder Seaver King has had an interesting start to his professional career.

What are we talking about here, MLB? In one of the most absurd decisions I have ever seen in my years of watching baseball, Washington Nationals reliever Jorge López has been suspended for 3 games for "intentionally throwing at Andrew McCutchen." which he will appeal. Additionally, Nationals manager Davey Martinez has also been suspended for 1 game, which he will serve in today's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates. This is ridiculous.

These 5 former Nationals already feel like a distant memory. While it has been over a year since Opening Day of 2024, the Washington Nationals have seen a lot of roster turnover since then. There are a decent amount of players that are still on the team, but also a lot of players and guys who were starters that are no longer with the organization.

The Nationals are bringing a familiar face back into the fold. The Washington Nationals are likely to be down a man for at least the next week or so after Paul DeJong was hit in the face by a fastball from Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller on Tuesday night. He is going to be placed on the 10-day IL with a fractured nose today, according to an official release from the team, and the team is recalling a familiar face to take his spot on the club for now.

When will the Nationals' top hitting prospect make the big leagues? After another ugly loss on Monday evening against the Pittsburgh Pirates, there was certainly not a lot to be excited about. Going up against the 2024 National League Rookie of the Year winner and 2023 #1 overall pick Paul Skenes, you knew coming into the game that runs were going to be at a premium, but what was unforeseen was the barrage of offense the Pirates would bring on Monday night.

A close game turned into a blowout very quickly on Sunday in Miami for the Nationals. On Sunday, the Washington Nationals at one time had a 3-1 lead over the Miami Marlins, and were seemingly putting the home team and NL East division rival on their heels. After an RBI single from Paul DeJong and another RBI single from Alex Call, the Nationals appeared to be in the driver's seat for the rest of the contest.
