  • Draws another start at third base
    Sano will start at third base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sano will make his seventh straight start Wednesday, including his fourth in a row at the hot corner. With Anthony Rendon () on the injured list, Sano looks as though he'll handle an everyday role at third base, at least while he continues to hold his own at the plate. Though Sano hasn't provided much in the way of counting stats through his first 19 games of the season (one home run, eight runs and five RBI), he's hitting .281 and getting on base at a .373 clip.

  • Nabs third straight start
    Adell will start in right field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: He'll be awarded a third consecutive start after going 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, two RBI and an additional run scored over the past two games, while also reaching base twice after being hit by pitches. Since he first broke into the big leagues in 2020, Adell has struggled to have much staying power in the majors while maintaining high strikeout rates, but he's shown some progression on that front so far this season. Through 39 plate appearances, Adell has struck out just eight times (20.5 percent). Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Nationals recall Trey Lipscomb
    Nationals recalled INF Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: The 23-year-old infielder will fill a roster spot after the Nationals placed Lane Thomas on the 10-day injured list. Lipscomb has appeared in 14 games for the Nats this season and has slashed .225/.278/.286 with four RBI and four stolen bags. He’s probably not worth a stash on fantasy rosters, but he could offer some value in deeper leagues. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Expected to be promoted
    Barger is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Wednesday's game in Kansas City, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Kevin Kiermaier exited Tuesday's game with hip flexor discomfort and could be headed to the injured list to open up room on the 26-man active roster for Barger. The 24-year-old has slashed .314/.435/.586 with three home runs and a 15:14 K:BB over 19 games with Buffalo this season. He's played right field and third base for Buffalo this season and would be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

  • Nationals place Lane Thomas (knee) on 10-day IL
    Nationals place Lane Thomas on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left MCL.

    Advice: Tough news. The 28-year-old outfielder exited Tuesday’s game after he twisted his leg on a stolen base attempt and now will be sidelined for at least the next week. Thomas hit a nice stride in early April with three straight games with multiple hits, but he’s cooled off and has a batting line of .184/.250/.253 in 22 games this season. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

  • Absent from lineup again
    Drury is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Drury missed three games last week with a hamstring injury before returning to play three straight contests over the weekend. However, he's now been absent from the lineup for all three games of the series against Baltimore, so it's fair to wonder whether the hamstring injury could be lingering or if he's simply being phased out amid his slow start to the season. Drury has struggled to a .547 OPS over 73 plate appearances thus far. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago

  • Officially recalled
    The Nationals recalled Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

    Advice: Lipscomb is taking the roster spot vacated by outfielder Lane Thomas (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The rookie posted a .563 OPS with one home run and four stolen bases over 14 games with the Nationals earlier this month and could get some reps at third base if the club wants to use Senzel in the outfield as a fill-in for Thomas.

  • Hits IL with MCL sprain
    The Nationals placed Thomas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with an MCL sprain of his left knee.

    Advice: Thomas sustained the injury in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers and will be eligible for activation May 4, but given the nature of the knee issue, he'll likely need more than the minimum 10 days to make a full recovery. The Nationals called up infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, and he could end up garnering regular starts at third base and serving as Thomas' de facto replacement if Washington is willing to move Nick Senzel off the hot corner and deploys him in the outfield or at designated hitter more frequently. After a breakout 2023 campaign in which he hit .268 with 28 home runs and 20 stolen bases, Thomas had slumped out of the gate with a .184/.250/.253 slash line with two home runs in 22 games, though he remained active on the basepaths (11 steals in 12 attempts).

  • Giants place Blake Snell (adductor) on 15-day IL
    Giants placed Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list with a left adductor strain.

    Advice: Brutal. The reigning NL Cy Young will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks after being one of the big names in the free agent market this offseason. In his three starts with the Giants, Snell is 0-3 with a 11.57 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and a 12/5 K/BB ratio. The 31-year-old southpaw hasn’t always had his best stuff at the beginning of the season, but hitting the injured list after he signed a two-year, $62 million contract is disaster for a Giants team that came into the season riddled with injuries to their pitching staff.
