    Erik Tolman Records Career-First as Nationals Vanquish Some Demons Against Marlins (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On Sunday, the Washington Nationals suffered one of their most frustrating losses of the season. While they have blown late leads throughout the 2026 campaign, the way they blew it against the Miami Marlins created a ton of exasperation. But with a chance to secure a rare series win over their divisional opponent, this young group had to pick themselves up off the mat for the finale. The Nationals did exactly that on Monday with their 6-3 win. And they had to overcome some adversity to get it do

    Dylan Crews Comes Up Clutch as Nationals Record First Walk-Off Win in 2026 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    When Dylan Crews was drafted No. 2 overall by the Washington Nationals in 2023, there was a time when this fanbase envisioned that they would rather have him up at the plate over anyone else. Three years later, that situation came to life. With the game tied at four in the bottom of the 10th inning, Crews stepped up to the plate with a chance to win it for the Nationals. However, the feeling many have about the former top prospect has changed, as he has not had the success anyone envisioned for

    Nationals Deemed to Have One of Best Groups of Infield Prospects, Here's Why (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Right now, the Washington Nationals have a problem when it comes to their major league infield. CJ Abrams, who was the team's starting shortstop at the start of the year and throughout his tenure in the nation's capital, is being moved to second base because of his poor defense. Nasim Nunez, who is considered to be an elite defender, provides almost next to nothing on offense. Third baseman Brady House and first baseman Abimelec Ortiz would be franchise cornerstones at their respective positions

    Seaver King Is Putting Tons of Pressure on Nationals to Call Him Up (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    One of the biggest storylines coming down the final stretches of the 2026 season for the Washington Nationals is whether or not they are going to call up Seaver King. The Nationals are reportedly "reluctant" to promote the star prospect for his MLB debut. They would prefer for him to get more reps down with Triple-A Rochester, as he has played less than 50 games at that level at the time of writing. The organization believes that would be best for his long-term development so he can reach his lo

    Abimelec Ortiz Ties Nationals Record During Red-Hot Start to His MLB Career (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Washington Nationals were confident that Abimelec Ortiz could mash the ball. He had hit double-digit home runs in every minor league season that he competed in through the 2025 campaign, which included an eye-popping 33 longballs in 2023, where 26 of them came at the High-A level. But even president of baseball operations Paul Toboni -- who acquired Ortiz from the Texas Rangers this past winter in the MacKenzie Gore blockbuster -- has to be surprised about what Ortiz has done since debuting
