Miami Marlins — News
Marlins Extend Win Streak to Six; Alcantara Allows Three Runs Over Eight Innings
Miami improved to 35-35 (9-1 in last 10) while Alcantara maintained his 4.25 ERA and 6-4 record. The Marlins' road struggles (12-19 away) remain a constraint despite the hot streak.
Marlins Sign Zach Pop To Minor League Deal
Pop exits Philadelphia's organization after posting a 3.68 xwOBA in seven appearances, signaling the Phillies didn't see him as rotation depth despite the winter signing. Miami (34-35, W5) adds bullpen depth to a rotation anchored by Max Meyer (2.85 ERA, 6-0) but lacking proven relievers.
Last Night In Baseball: Cubs Avoid Falling Below .500
Cubs (35-34) improved to 3-7 in their last 10 games with the win, while Marlins extended their streak to 5 consecutive victories on a 23-16 home record despite sitting fourth in the NL East.
Marlins prospect Thomas White out 3-4 months with shoulder capsular sprain
White's injury timeline threatens the remainder of the 2026 season for Miami's top pitching prospect. The Marlins rotation is already anchored by Meyer (2.81 ERA, 6-0) with limited depth behind him in the upper minors.
Washington Nationals — News
Nationals Release Julian Fernández
Fernández never pitched in 2026 (0 IP), making this a minor roster housekeeping move with no impact on Washington's active rotation depth.
Nationals Claim Lara From Braves, Designate Fernandez
Lara has no 2026 stats available, indicating he hasn't pitched in the majors this season. Washington's rotation remains thin with Littell (4.76 ERA, 0-3) starting today against Seattle.
Giants rally past Nationals 11-10 behind late-inning surge
San Francisco scored 10 runs in the final two innings to stun Washington, but the Giants remain 27-41 with a -52 run differential—the worst mark in the NL West—while the Nationals' 35-33 record still holds third place in the East despite the loss.
MLB Mailbag: Devers, Nationals, DFA Carousels, Guardians, Red Sox
Devers (.233 AVG, 0.292 xwOBA in 68 G) carries negative trade value given his underperformance; Nationals' road success (23-13 away, 12-20 home) masks structural problems despite +8 run differential.
Nationals snap 0-29 skid in ninth-inning comebacks
Washington's 22-13 road record masks a 12-20 home collapse; erasing a 3-1 deficit against SF's worst reliever (Winn, 0.271 xwOBA) demonstrates clutch execution rather than sustained offensive strength in a team sitting +5 in run differential.
