The Washington Nationals have one of the youngest rosters in baseball. But this past week, they got younger not once, but twice. Prime prospect Robert Hassell III made his major league debut two months after putting the team on notice as a spring training sensation (Hassell posted a team-high 17 hits while batting .370 over 21 exhibitions) and went 2-5 with two runs scored.

The Washington Nationals headed north on Interstate 95, blowing up the Baltimore Orioles this past weekend, sweeping the O’s while posting a pair of 10-run outings. The series began with a 4-3 decision that saw the Nats rally with a run in the eighth inning and another in the ninth. That fade Friday cost Manager Brandon Hyde his job. His .461 winning percentage over six-plus seasons is better than Davey Martinez (.448) in seven-plus season with Washington.

The Washington Nationals stumbled toward the quarter turn pole (40/41 games) as they dropped five of six this past week to contenders Cleveland and St. Louis, getting outscored 20-3 while getting swept at home by the Cardinals. Even OAR’s postgame concert Friday night couldn’t give the Nationals the necessary mojo. This latest turn of events is rather sobering for those who thought the Nats would make the leap in 2025.

Who’s ready for some hockey? The wait will end Tuesday evening as the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes have been off for nearly a week since winning their first round matchups with relative ease. The question facing both clubs is will they be more rested or rusty?

The Washington Nationals are home after dealing with one wet weekend. All three of their games against the Reds were affected by rain delays and Sunday’s 4-1 win saw MacKenzie Gore slip on a drizzled mound. But the club goes from being in danger of getting swept in Philadelphia to bringing home a 3-3 road trip. Can they build off of a 3-2 start in May?
