  • Set to lose work with Ruiz back
    Adams is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: With Keibert Ruiz (illness) returning from the 10-day injured list Thursday and starting behind the plate in his first game back, Adams' time as the Nationals' No. 1 backstop appears to have ended. He had started in 10 of the Nationals' 11 games while Ruiz was out, going 8-for-33 (.242 average) with four extra-base hits (one home run, three doubles), three runs and two RBI.

    Barnes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Nationals.

Over 19 plate appearances to date, Barnes has batted .250 with no extra-base hits, one RBI and one run. Rotowire.com Today, 10:53 am
     
  • Receives rest day
    Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

  • Losing work to Amaya
    Gomes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Gomes is on the bench for the seventh time in 10 games and appears to have moved into the No. 2 catcher role behind youngster Miguel Amaya, who draws another start Thursday. The 36-year-old is a trusted game caller behind the plate but has taken a big step back with the bat in 2024, posting a .486 OPS while striking out at a career-worst 35.1 percent rate through 37 plate appearances.

  • Sent back to minors
    The Nationals optioned Millas to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

    Advice: Washington no longer had a need for Millas as a backup catcher after the team reinstated Keibert Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his week-and-a-half-long stint with the Nationals, Millas appeared in two games and went 1-for-6 with a stolen base. Rotowire.com Today, 9:08 am

  • Returns from IL

    Advice: Ruiz missed the Nationals' last 11 games while recovering from a case of influenza. He checked out fine after making two rehab appearances with Double-A Harrisburg earlier this week and should settle back in as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher now that he's been activated from the IL. Washington optioned catcher Drew Millas to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 9:04 am
