Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting again Thursday
Garcia (wrist) isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Garcia will be missing his second straight start Thursday as a result of wrist discomfort that flared up during Tuesday's contest. As he continues to recover, Darren Baker will pick up a start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Nationals' Joey Gallo: Idle Thursday
Gallo isn't in Washington's lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Gallo's two home runs since the start of September represent the only hits he's tallied in his last 32 at-bats, so the Nats will sit him down Thursday in an effort to find more production at the plate. Juan Yepez will fill in as Washington's first baseman and bat seventh.

Nationals' Dylan Crews: Records steal in loss
Crews went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-0 loss to the Mets.
Crews was hitless for the third time in five games but still swiped a bag after getting aboard on a fielder's choice in the first inning. His speed has translated quickly at the major-league level with nine thefts on 11 attempts over his first 21 games. The bat hasn't been quite as good -- he's hitting .232 and slugging .390 with three home runs, eight RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles while seeing plenty of playing time in right field. It's also encouraging he was back to second in the order after finding success with a 3-for-4 performance batting seventh in Tuesday's contest.

Nationals' DJ Herz: Crumbles in fourth inning
Herz (4-8) took the loss Wednesday versus the Mets, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.1 innings.
Herz cruised through three innings, but he was pulled after allowing the first eight batters to reach in the fourth. He had already given up four runs at the time of his exit, and Jacob Barnes let all three inherited runners cross the plate to put more damage on Herz's line. This was the southpaw's worst outing of the year, though he was able to avoid giving up a home run for the fifth time in six appearances. He's now at a 4.30 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 103:33 K:BB through 83.2 innings over 18 starts. His next projected start will likely be his last one of the campaign, which is tentatively set to be at home versus the Royals.

Nationals' Trevor Williams: Making return Friday
Williams (elbow) is scheduled to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Friday against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The right-hander has been sidelined since late May due to a flexor strain, but he's ready to rejoin the Nationals after making two rehab starts with Double-A Harrisburg. Williams threw 73 pitches in the most recent outing, so any workload limitations shouldn't be significant. He was off to the best start of his career prior to the injury with a 2.22 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB across 56.2 innings.

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Garcia (wrist) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Garcia was removed from Tuesday's contest with right wrist discomfort, although the exit was deemed precautionary. With lefty Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets, there's a good chance Garcia wouldn't have been starting even if he were 100 percent. Jose Tena will cover second base for the Nationals while Ildemaro Vargas occupies third.

Nationals' Alex Call: Nearing rehab assignment
Manager Dave Martinez said Tuesday that Call (foot) will embark on a rehab assignment soon in hopes of returning before the end of the regular season, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
The 29-year-old landed on the injured list in late August due to a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot, and he's now on the cusp of returning to game action. Call has been productive when up with the Nationals this season with a .343/.425/.525 slash line in 30 games, and a healthy finish to the campaign would set him up for a normal offseason heading into 2025.

Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Surrenders five runs in loss
Parker (7-10) took the loss Tuesday against the Mets, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out one.
Parker labored through this 78-pitch outing that included allowing four runs on three hits and two walks in the third. The New York lineup appeared to have the rookie southpaw's number all evening, as Parker generated a paltry four whiffs and has allowed five runs to the Mets in both his starts against them. Overall, he's now pitched to a 4.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 128:41 K:BB across 146 innings this season. The 24-year-old Parker is currently slated to make his next start against the Royals at home next week.

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Removed as precaution
Garcia was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to right wrist discomfort, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Garcia's wrist began bothering him after he struck out swinging in the third inning, though he was able to stay in on defense for another frame before Ildemaro Vargas replaced him in the fourth. Manager Dave Martinez noted that Garcia's removal was a precautionary move, so it's possible the 24-year-old returns to the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale.

Nationals' Cade Cavalli: Not returning this season
Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Tuesday that Cavalli (elbow) will continue to work through his throwing program but won't pitch in games before the end of the season, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
The right-hander began the season on the injured list while completing his recovery from Tommy John Surgery in May 2023, but a "dead arm" phase over the summer derailed his rehab assignment. Cavalli will continue to build up his arm over the final weeks of the regular season, but he'll head into 2025 with plenty of uncertainty coming off consecutive lost seasons.

Nationals' Andres Chaparro: Resting Tuesday
Chaparro isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
Chaparro will get a day off Tuesday after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Monday's series opener. His absence will allow Juan Yepez to work as the Nationals' designated hitter and bat cleanup.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Returns to lineup
Abrams (shoulder) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Tuesday against the Mets.
Left-shoulder soreness has prevented Abrams from playing in each of Washington's last four games, but he seems to finally be feeling better entering Tuesday's contest. The 23-year-old has been in a bit of a slump at the plate recently, slashing just .176/.194/.382 with two home runs and three RBI since the start of September.

Nationals' Jake Irvin: Sharp in no-decision Monday
Irvin came away with a no-decision in Monday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing one run on four hits and a walk through 7.1 innings. He struck out five.
The righty put together his second straight quality start and 16th of the season on 94 pitches (65 strikes), and Irvin took a shutout into the eighth inning before New York finally broke through. Irvin has had a bumpy finish to the campaign, giving up at least four runs in five of nine outings since the beginning of August while posting a 5.65 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 39:15 K:BB through 51 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come on the road this weekend against the Cubs.
