Nationals' Jacob Young: Scratched from lineup
Young (shoulder) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against Atlanta, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Young had appeared set to return from his left shoulder injury after a one-game absence, but it's been decided to give him another day. Dylan Crews will slide over to center field and Alex Call will enter the lineup in right field.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Good to go Tuesday
Young (shoulder) is starting in center field and batting ninth Tuesday against Atlanta.
Young suffered the shoulder injury on a collision with the outfield wall Saturday and sat out Sunday's series finale versus the Orioles, but he's back in the lineup after Tuesday's team off day. The 25-year-old has yet to provide much offense this year with a .591 OPS through 41 games.

Nationals' Josh Bell: Goes yard in Sunday's win
Bell went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Orioles.
The veteran slugger took Bryan Baker deep in the eighth inning, the last of five Nats long balls in a 10-4 rout. Bell has six homers and 15 RBI in 40 contests, but he's mostly had a miserable start to the season in his return to Washington -- incredibly, he has yet to collect multiple hits in the same game, leading to a .156/.242/.305 slash line.

Nationals' Brady House: Strong start at Triple-A
House went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI for Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
The 21-year-old third is more than holding his own in his second crack at Triple-A. Through 42 games this season for Rochester, House is slashing .282/.344/.497 with eight homers, and he's more than doubled his walk rate from 3.0 percent in 2024 to 8.3 percent. The Nationals have struggled to find a solution at the hot corner in the majors, and with House needing to be added to the 40-man roster this coming offseason anyway, a big-league debut in the second half isn't off the table.

Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Cleared for next start
Parker (knee) will make his next start Tuesday versus Atlanta at Nationals Park.
Parker's previous start (also against Atlanta) was cut short last Wednesday, when he was struck in the left knee by a 107.2 mile-per-hour comebacker off the bat of Austin Riley midway through the fifth inning. According to Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com, Parker was able to make his between-starts bullpen session Friday without issue, so he's not expected to be operating with any restrictions Tuesday. Through his first nine starts of the season, Parker owns a 3-3 record, 4.32 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 32:24 K:BB across 50 innings.

Nationals' Dylan Crews: Homers in win
Crews went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Orioles.
Crews smacked a three-run homer in the second inning and added a single in the fourth. While the 23-year-old has provided two home runs and five steals in May, he's gone just 8-for-53 with 17 strikeouts. He's slashing .191/.257/.331 with six long balls, 14 RBI, 23 runs scored and 11 steals across 171 plate appearances this season, and the Nationals appear content to let him work through his growing pains at the plate.

Nationals' Michael Soroka: Earns first win
Soroka (1-2) earned the win against the Orioles on Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Soroka took advantage of an early lead, tossing four scoreless innings before allowing three runs across the fifth and sixth frames. The 27-year-old generated 10 whiffs in his longest outing of the season, though he was limited to only 82 pitches. He'll take a 5.95 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 23:4 KBB across 19.2 innings into a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Homers twice in win
Abrams went 3-for-5 with two solo home runs, a double and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Orioles.
Abrams led off the game with a home run and added another in the second inning. The shortstop has been locked in over his past 10 games, logging five multi-hit performances with eight extra-base hits, four RBI, eight runs scored and a steal. On the season, he's slashing .312/.368/.574 with eight home runs, 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and nine stolen bases across 156 plate appearances.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Withheld from starting nine
Young (shoulder) was absent from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.
The 25-year-old had X-rays come back negative on his left shoulder after a collision with the outfield wall Saturday, and he'll step out of the starting nine for at least one game. Dylan Crews is manning center field Sunday while Alex Call receives a start in right.

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Drives in three in win
Garcia went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-6 win over the Orioles.
Garcia hit a two-run single in the first inning and drove in another run on a double in the second. The second baseman has gone just 9-for-45 in so far in May but has tallied multi-hit efforts in each of his past two starts. On the season, he's hitting .229 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 19 runs scored and six steals across 157 plate appearances.

Nationals' Jake Irvin: Strikes out six in win
Irvin (3-1) earned the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 6.1 innings.
Irvin was given a six-run cushion in the first inning and ran with it, tossing six scoreless frames before giving up two runs in the seventh. In three May outings, the 28-year-old has allowed seven earned runs and logged two quality starts, though he's managed just seven total strikeouts in that span. On the season, he owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB across 60.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Nationals' Jacob Young: X-rays return clean
X-rays on Young's left shoulder came back negative Saturday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
Young exited Saturday's game after crashing into the wall while attempting to make a catch in the seventh inning. He seems to have avoided serious injury, though the team cautioned that it will need to see how Young feels Sunday before his status becomes clear.

Nationals' Jacob Young: Exits with injury
Young was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles with an apparent shoulder injury, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
Young collided hard with the center field wall while chasing down a flyball in the seventh inning. The Nationals' training staff seemed to be focusing on the outfielder's left shoulder, though it's still unclear if he suffered any structural damage. He'll be evaluated further, and Alex Call -- who entered as Saturday as his replacement -- could pick up time in the outfield if Young has to miss any amount of time.

Nationals' Jorge Lopez: Vultures another win Friday
Lopez (6-0) picked up the win Friday against the Orioles, giving up two hits and striking out one in a scoreless eighth inning.
Once again, the veteran right-hander was in the right place at the right time to vulture a victory, as Lopez entered the game with the score tied 3-3 and watched unlikely hero Nasim Nunez drive home the winning run in the top of the ninth on an infield single. Lopez is tied with five starting pitchers for the major-league lead in wins, a list that includes Max Fried, Hunter Brown and Robbie Ray, but that's come at a price for his fantasy investors -- he has a 7.20 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB through 20 innings.

Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Shines in rare start
Nunez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Orioles.
Starting at second base and batting ninth, Nunez made a diving catch on a Gunnar Henderson line drive for the first out in the bottom of the first inning, and he continued to make an impact the rest of the night, both on offense and on defense. The switch-hitting utility player had just one plate appearance in May coming into Friday, but with Amed Rosario (leg) banged up and Paul DeJong (face) still more than a month away from his expected return, Nunez could find his way into the lineup more often in the short term.

Nationals' Nathaniel Lowe: Launches eighth homer
Lowe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Orioles.
The first baseman got the Nats on the board by depositing a Cade Povich sweeper over the right-field fence in the second inning. It was Lowe's eighth homer of the season, but he's been struggling to produce in May -- over his last nine games, he's gone just 3-for-33 (.091).
