Washington Nationals

The Washington Nationals offense has taken some big hits lately. On Tuesday, the Nats might have received a knockout punch.

The Washington Nationals have been dealt a huge blow heading into the postseason next week, with All-Star catcher Wilson Ramos suffering a torn ACL during Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The term "ace" gets tossed around too liberally. There's more to it than simply being the best pitcher on your team.

The Washington Nationals' Max Scherzer, however, checks most of the ace boxes.

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper suffered a wrist injury on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It's unclear when he'll return to the field.

The Washington Nationals are your 2016 NL East champions, having clinched the division Saturday night. Their only worry right now is how much champagne stings when it gets in their eyes.

So, it's up to us to worry about their path through the National League playoffs.

A year after they imploded down the stretch, the Washington Nationals put the clamps on a division title, clinching the National League East on Saturday with a 6-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets' 10-8 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

Following a report that a shoulder injury has hampered Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, the reigning NL MVP reportedly denied any issues in a closed-door meeting with management Tuesday. 

The Atlanta Braves tried fastballs and changeups, sliders and cutters, in and out, up and down.

Whatever they threw, wherever they threw it, Trea Turner hit it. It got to be a little ridiculous—so ridiculous that when Turner came to the plate for the Washington Nationals on Saturday, Don Sutton called him "George Herman Ruth Turner" on Braves radio.

In a vacuum, news that Washington Nationals starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg has strained the flexor mass in his right elbow might seem like a gut punch to the team’s hopes of winning the World Series.

Strasburg is, after all, a former No. 1 overall pick who has looked every bit an ace through much of the 2016 season.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Bryan Harper had just entered a tie game to start the ninth inning for the Double-A Harrisburg Senators, and he was now in a bind—loading the bases on two walks and a sharp single.

The next Portland Sea Dogs batter slammed a hard grounder up the middle for a short-to-second, inning-ending force out. A walk in the bottom half plated the run that made Harper a 2–1 winner.
