Nationals' Brady House: Belts homer No. 10
Rotowire
House went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's win over the Marlins.
The third baseman absolutely crushed a grooved fastball from Eury Perez in the third inning, sending it 445 feet to left-center field to break open the game in an eventual 9-2 victory. It was House's 10th homer of the season but his first since Aug. 15. Since returning to the majors in late July, he's put together a tepid .244/.317/.400 slash line with five doubles, three long balls, 11 runs and 11 RBI in 28 contests.

Nationals' Brady House: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
House is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
After starting at third base in each of the last three games while going 2-for-8 with three walks, House will take a seat for the series finale while Jorbit Vivas mans the hot corner. House has put together a modest .699 OPS over 24 second-half games with the Nationals, but that may be enough to give him in the edge in playing time over Vivas, who is slashing just .214/.324/.250 over that same timeframe.

Nationals' Brady House: Earning more opportunities
Rotowire
House will start at third base and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Mets.
The 23-year-old will remain in the lineup for a sixth straight game after going 8-for-20 with a home run, a stolen base, four RBI and four runs over the prior five contests. House has made three starts versus righties and three versus lefties during that span, and the Nationals could continue to deploy him in a near-everyday role between third base and designated hitter while he's wielding a hot bat.

Nationals' Brady House: Swats pinch-hit homer
Rotowire
House went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's extra-innings win over the Phillies.
Jorbit Vivas got the start at third base Wednesday with right-hander Andrew Painter on the mound for Philly, but House came off the bench in the seventh inning to face southpaw Brooks Raley and launched a game-tying homer to the opposite field. House may be falling into a short-side platoon role, but Vivas isn't exactly doing much to earn a consistent spot in the lineup with a .519 OPS, zero home runs and zero steals since the beginning of July. House's own numbers suggest he's better suited for his current usage, however -- he sports a .355/.412/.597 slash line against lefties this season, but a .174/.220/.318 line against righties.

Nationals' Brady House: Returning to majors
Rotowire
The Nationals plan to recall House from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.
With Curtis Mead traded to Boston on Saturday night, the Nationals need a replacement at third base. House has been in the minors since mid-May after he opened the season hitting third in Washington's lineup. House struggled to a .681 OPS across 177 trips to the plate before he was demoted to Triple-A. With Rochester, House has slashed .300/.344/.498 with eight homers, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored, three stolen bases and a 12:53 BB:K across 218 plate appearances. He should get plenty of runway at third base for the Nationals the rest of the season.

Rotowire

Nationals' Brady House: Starts season with bang
Rotowire
House went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Cubs.
The 22-year-old third baseman also struck out twice, but the contact he did make was extremely hard -- House scorched a single to center field in the fourth inning that left his bat at 106.7 mph, before crushing a first-pitch fastball from Jacob Webb in the ninth that had an exit velocity of 110.8 mph as it soared over the right-field wall. House was batting third for the Nationals on Opening Day against left-hander Matthew Boyd, and while he might slip down the lineup against righties, he'll retain a spot in the heart of the order on an everyday basis if he unlocks his power in 2026.

Nationals' Brady House: Batting third against lefty
Rotowire
House will start at third base and bat third in Thursday's opener versus the Cubs.

Nationals' Brady House: Keeps slugging Saturday
Rotowire
House went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.
The 22-year-old third baseman has been swinging a hot bat to begin spring training. Through four games, House has gone 5-for-11 with two doubles and two homers while posting a 0:3 BB:K. Plate discipline remains a concern after he posted an atrocious 8:78 BB:K in 274 plate appearances during his big-league debut last season, helping drag down his .234/.252/.322 slash line, but House has power potential if he can learn to make more consistent contact.
