Washington Nationals — Latest News

Nationals Claim Justin Lawrence Off Waivers From Twins

Lawrence carries an 8.04 ERA with a 0.385 xwOBA across limited action and has no options remaining, making this a depth grab for Washington's rotation rather than a meaningful upgrade. The Nats designate Lara to create space while their current five-man rotation features Cavalli (4.07 ERA), Littell (5.40), and Mikolas (5.47) all underperforming.

Phillies defeat Nationals in wild comeback; Padres beat Braves again

PHI improved to 43-36 despite a -2 run differential while WSH (41-39) falls to 0-1 in their last game. SD now 2-0 against ATL (48-30, -3 in last 10), suggesting the Padres have found a formula against baseball's East leader despite their own -8 differential.

Nationals shut down DJ Herz with flexor strain during Tommy John rehab

Herz's setback eliminates WSH's top prospect from the rotation timeline after last year's surgery. The Nationals (41-38) now depend on Foster (3.15 ERA, 8-2) and Cavalli (4.07 ERA) as their only reliable starters, with Littell (5.45 ERA, 0-3) starting tonight against Luzardo.

Mariners Outright Curtis Washington Jr. to A-Level Everett

Washington clears waivers unclaimed, opening a roster spot for Seattle (39-38, +19 run differential) but signaling organizational confidence issues with the prospect after his recent demotion.

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.
