Nationals' Luis Garcia: Swats homer No. 10
Garcia went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Phillies.
He took Aaron Nola deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning, giving Garcia his first homer in August and his 10th of the season. Despite the power outage, the 25-year-old hasn't completely disappeared at the plate this month, slashing .273/.310/.418 over 16 games with three doubles, a triple, a stolen base, six RBI and eight runs.

Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Lit up again Saturday
Parker (7-14) took the loss Saturday, coughing up six runs on six hits and a walk over five innings as the Nationals were downed 6-4 by the Phillies. He struck out three.
The left-hander kept Philly off the board for three innings before crumbling, and he got the hook after 103 pitches (68 strikes). Parker was hit hard once again, as four of the six hits he gave up went for extra bases, including homers by Edmundo Sosa and Trea Turner. Parker is 0-4 over his last five starts, a stretch in which he's produced a shocking 12.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP, 3.0 HR/9 and 13:11 K:BB over 21 innings. Despite those ghastly numbers, the Nats haven't provided any hints that his rotation spot is in jeopardy. He'll try to turn things around in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Rays.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Idle Saturday
Adams is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.
After making back-to-back starts behind the dish, Adams will yield to Drew Millas on Saturday. Adams is 16-for-50 (.320) with two homers in August.

Nationals' PJ Poulin: Nabs first MLB win
Poulin (1-1) picked up the win over the Phillies on Friday, striking out three over two perfect innings of relief.
The rookie southpaw worked the eighth inning with the Nationals down 4-3, and after the team took the lead in the top of the ninth, Poulin stayed on the mound for the final three outs to lock up his first win in the majors. He got that opportunity with Jose Ferrer and Cole Henry both having worked the prior two days, but it was still a big vote of confidence in Poulin's ability to handle high-leverage situations. Over his first 10 big-league innings, he's delivered a 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Belts eighth homer
Adams went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.
The catcher gave the Nationals an early lead by taking Taijuan Walker deep in the first inning. Adams has slugged a career-high eight homers this season -- his previous best was five, set in 2022 -- and four of them have come in his last 24 games, a stretch in which he's slashing .289/.365/.487 with 11 RBI and 11 runs. With Keibert Ruiz (concussion) seemingly not close to a return, Adams' surprisingly productive run could continue into September.

Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Quality start in no-decision
Cavalli came away with a no-decision in Friday's 5-4 win over the Phillies, giving up three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
It wasn't quite as impressive an effort from Cavalli as in his last trip to the mound, when he fired seven shutout innings, but the right-hander held a dangerous Philly offense mostly in check for a second straight meeting. Cavalli tossed 64 of 95 pitches for strikes in his second career quality start, and over four outings in August he sports a 2.82 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB in 22.1 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week against another fearsome foe in the Yankees.

Nationals' Brady House: Bangs out three hits in win
House went 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Mets.
The rookie third baseman is still adjusting to big-league pitching, but he continues to offer occasional glimpses of his upside. House hasn't homered since July 13, and during his 25-game power drought the 22-year-old is slashing just .221/.225/.256 with a 30.3 percent strikeout rate. His minor-league resume offers hope that a turnaround will come eventually, although it might not happen until next season -- after posting a poor .655 OPS in his first taste of Triple-A in 2024, he delivered an .872 OPS in 65 games at the level this year to earn his promotion.

Nationals' Riley Adams: Two more hits Thursday
Adams went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI in Thursday's win over the Mets.
The 29-year-old continues to hold up surprisingly well in a starting role while Keibert Ruiz (concussion) remains sidelined. Over 30 games since Ruiz returned to the IL in early July, Adams is slashing .260/.343/.427 with four doubles, four homers, nine RBI and 13 runs. Ruiz is participating in baseball activities but remains without a timeline for his activation.

Nationals' Eli Willits: Dazzles in pro debut
Willits went 3-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base for Single-A Fredericksburg on Thursday.
Seeing his first game action since being selected first overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Willits looked more than ready for the challenge despite the fact that the 17-year-old is the youngest player in Fredericksburg history. Given his age, there's no reason to expect him to advance up the ladder quickly, but the fact that the Nationals felt he was ready for full-season ball is an excellent sign.

Nationals' James Wood: Launches three-run homer amid slump
Wood went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Mets.
Wood socked his 26th homer of the season and piled up at least three RBI for the ninth time this year. Fantasy managers are hoping Thursday's showing will get the dynamic outfielder back on track, considering it's been an icy stretch at the plate since the start of July for Wood. Across his last 41 contests, Wood is slashing .203/.280/.329 with four homers, eight doubles, 19 RBI and four stolen bases.

Nationals' Jose Ferrer: Strikes out three in save
Ferrer earned the save in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Mets, allowing one hit and no walks in 1.1 scoreless innings. He struck out three.
Ferrer entered the game with the Nationals nursing a 5-3 lead in the eighth inning, but Washington scored four more runs in the bottom half of the frame to give him a big cushion to work with while recording the final three outs. The 25-year-old southpaw has emerged as the clear favorite for saves following the Kyle Finnegan trade, having now converted each of his four save chances in August. Over his last 18.2 innings, Ferrer sports a 1.93 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB.

Nationals' MacKenzie Gore: Fans five in no-decision
Gore didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks in 4.1 innings. He struck out five.
It was just the third time all season that Gore was unable to make it through five innings, and each of those instances have come following the All-Star break. The All-Star left-hander is showing signs of fatigue since the second half began, submitting a 7.88 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and 32:18 K:BB over his last seven outings (32 innings). Things are unlikely to get much easier for Gore in next week's scheduled appearance against the Yankees, who have a robust .990 OPS versus left-handed pitching since the beginning of August.
