MLB Trade Rumors The Washington Nationals have reinstated Patrick Corbin from the COVID injured list, the team announced. He will make his debut start tonight against the Dodgers. Kyle McGowin has been optioned and placed on Washington’s taxi squad, per Pete Kerzel of MASNsports.com (via Twitter). Adrian Sanchez has been returned to the team’s alternate site. Sanchez did not see any game action. McGowin, 29, had a pair of productive outings for the Nats. As one of their primary multi-inni...

Justin Turner doubled twice, Chris Taylor homered, and A.J. Pollock hit a three-run double to lead the Dodgers over the Nationals.

That’s the one thing I want to guard against.” Roberts said he didn’t know whether Bauer will face discipline, though he didn’t think he would....

Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images The Dodgers made a slight shuffle to their starting rotation, skipping Dustin May to start Clayton Kershaw in Sunday’s series finale against the Nationals. Off days on Thursday and Monday meant if they stayed in order, Kershaw would have had six days between starts since he last started Tuesday in Oakland. Now, his start Sunday will be on four days rest. “We wanted to give Dustin a couple extra days and keep Clayton on turn,” manger Dave Roberts said. ...

Nationals 2021 opening day Credit: Kelyn Soong It finally happened. On Tuesday, April 6, the Washington Nationals played in front of their fans at Nationals Park for the first time since Game 5 of the 2019 World Series. That’s a span of 17 months and 10 days. Or, to break it down even further, 527 days. For many reasons, some related to baseball and some totally disconnected from sports, it’s felt much longer than that. A World Series victory parade, a major cheating scandal, a drastically ...

But his team had the right formula — the great Juan Soto, who hit the game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning to score Victor Robles for a 6-5 opening day Nationals win before a pandemic-restricted crowd of about 4,800 at Nationals Park. That select group of fans got to watch the team raise its 2019 World Series championship banner. Winning, even during that title year, never seems to come easily or simply for Martinez and his Nats. Remember, they started off 19-31 before coming...

Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports The Dodgers will be without Cody Bellinger for at least one more game and possibly longer, though that might not be known for a few days. Bellinger was spiked in the left calf by A’s pitcher Reymin Guduan in a play at first base in the ninth inning of Monday’s game. Bellinger was unavailable in Tuesday’s game as the Dodgers awaited test results, which showed no stress fracture and no structural damage in Bellinger’s leg. “There’s residual soreness,...

April 7, 2021 If you had Jonathan Lucroy driving in the first runs of the Nationals’ 2021 season, take your ticket to the window and claim your winnings. Due to a COVID-19 outbreak that forced the team to sideline nine players, the 34-year-old backstop, who was unemployed as of last week, suddenly became Max Scherzer’s batterymate for the Nationals’ season opener against the Braves. Things didn’t go well at the outset, but in his first major league plate appearance in about a year and a...

COVID Issues As expected, the Nationals placed a ton of players on the IL with undisclosed illnesses. Josh Bell, Kyle Schwaber, Patrick Corbin, Brad Hand, Jordy Mercer, Yan Gomes, Alex Avila, Jon Lester, and Josh Harrison were all placed on the IL and will miss an unknown amount of time.    Trades! Orlando Arcia was traded to the Braves for Chad Sobotka and Patrick Weigel. Apparently the Brewers wanted to bolster their bullpen and Arcia added depth to the Braves bench. Arcia was sent to the a...

Four Nationals players are said to have tested positive, with several more in the organization being deemed close contacts who are also going through protocol.
