Catch up on the last 24 hours in Nationals news before the start of the series with the Rockies in D.C. (weather permitting).
Losing Max Scherzer for three weeks isn’t fantastic, but it has one benefit: the pitcher who owned the first half of the season will start his second half of the year with a ton of energy in the tank, which is promising given how good he was pitching through pain and an outsized number of innings.
Here’s the news from Nationals...

In one of the biggest series of the season, the Nationals were able to grind out a series split against the Braves. Here are the main takeaways from the four games..
In a series that several were pinpointing as a huge one for the Washington Nationals in a possible pursuit of the Atlanta Braves, they were able to grind out a series split on the road.
These two teams are still set to meet 10 more times before the season is out and we saw yet again how evenly...

Kevin Gausman gave up some hard hit balls, but not many hits in what ended up a 7-1 Braves’ win over the Nationals.
Joe Ross gave up two runs early and one late in his outing, and the Washington Nationals had a hard time figuring Kevin Gausman out as the Atlanta Braves cruised to a 7-1 win in the series finale in SunTrust Park. Davey Martinez’s squad settled for a split, winning two games of four from their NL East rivals, and now they head home to D.C....

Washington’s won 5 of 8 with Atlanta this season, and four of the Nationals’ eight games with the Braves have been decided by one run. Who’s going to take the series finale?
Before Friday night’s loss, the Washington Nationals had won five straight from the Atlanta Braves in SunTrust Park, outscoring their NL East rivals 45-17 over that stretch.
Davey Martinez and his club have taken 5 of 8 games with the current division leader this season,...
The Nationals have placed right-handed pitcher Austin Voth on the 10-day injured list and have recalled pitcher Joe Ross, according to Jesse Dougherty of the Washington Post. Voth is dealing with biceps tendinitis; his IL placement comes retroactive to Thursday. Voth, 27, has emerged as a capable starter for the Nationals, making four starts and posting a serviceable 4.35 ERA through 20 2/3 innings. He’s managed to strike out almost a batter per inning, accumulating 20 Ks compared to...
Any team that wants to acquire Detroit Tigers closer Shane Greene is going to have to pay up. According to Jason Beck of MLB.com, the Washington Nationals have interest in Greene, but the Tigers asked them for top prospect Carter Kieboom in return. That’s a very high asking price for Greene, who is having an excellent season but lacks a long track record of high-level success in any role. It’s still understandable, though. Greene is under contract for another season, and the Tigers...

With a 5-3 win in last night’s game, the Nationals gave themselves a chance for a series win in tonight’s finale.
Matt Adams got to Mike Soroka first, taking an 0-1 fastball down and away from the righty to left-center field in SunTrust Park for a game-tying opposite field home run in the fourth that tied things up at 1-1 after the Atlanta Braves jumped out to a 1-0 lead.
Adams’ 15th homer of 2019 was just the fifth Atlanta’s 21-year-old, 2015 1st...

With Max Scherzer and Austin Voth unavailable, the Nats turn to Joe Ross tonight in the series finale with the Braves.
With Max Scherzer unable to return from the Injured List in time to make the start tonight, the Washington Nationals were expected to turn to right-hander Austin Voth in the finale with the Atlanta Braves in SunTrust Park.
That plan was up in the air as well as of Saturday afternoon, however, when skipper Davey Martinez told...

A three-run fifth inning put the Nationals ahead for good as they beat the Braves 5-3 tonight in Atlanta’s SunTrust Park.
Washington’s Nationals put together a big fifth against Atlanta Braves’ starter Mike Soroka tonight in SunTrust Park, stringing together back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back hits in a rally that began with starter Aníbal Sánchez reaching on an error and saw Trea Turner (RBI double), Anthony Rendon (RBI single), and Juan Soto (RBI...
With summer storms peppering much of the country today, we’ve got our own torrent of pitcher-related news to sort through. Out of D.C., we hear from MLB.com’s Jamal Collier that Nationals ace Max Scherzer threw 15 pitches off of a mound this afternoon (Twitter link). The superlative hurler has been dealing with inflammation in the bursa sac under his right shoulder blade and hasn’t appeared in a game since a seven-inning win against the Royals on July 6th. That Scherzer is throwing...
Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said Friday the club’s going into the July 31 trade deadline seeking controllable talent, especially in the bullpen. Already connected to relievers Mychal Givens and Jake Diekman so far this month, a couple more late-game arms are now on the Nationals’ radar. The club is interested in Tigers closer Shane Greene and Giants setup man Sam Dyson, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports. Not only are Greene and Dyson thriving in 2019, but they’re under...

Check out the latest rumors about the Nationals’ interest in Detroit’s closer and one of the San Francisco Giants’ arms.
Washington Nationals’ General Manager Mike Rizzo confirmed the obvious when he spoke with MLB Network Radio’s Mike Ferrin, Jim Duquette, and Jim Bowden on Friday afternoon, telling them that the Nationals were in the market for relief help, and controllable relievers in particular, as the 2019 Trade Deadline approaches.

Victor Robles has a nine-game hit streak going after a 2 for 4 game last night in SunTrust Park.
With a double in his third at bat last night, Victor Robles extended his hitting streak to nine-straight games, over which the 22-year-old outfielder is now (after his 2 for 4 game on Friday night), 13 for 36 (.361/.378/.639) with four doubles and two home runs. Robles has hits in 17 of his last 19 games as well.
He capped the night off with a game-tying,...

Max Scherzer won’t be pitching on Sunday unfortunately, but he thinks he’ll be ready to return to the Nationals’ rotation soon..
Max Scherzer was pulling his hair out waiting for the cortisone shot he received four days back to do its work and provide some relief from the back issue he’s been dealing with in the last few weeks that landed him on the Injured List.
“When you get a cortisone injection,” the 34-year-old Nationals’ ace explained...

Fernando Rodney went an inning-plus twice last season, and multiple times back in 2014, ‘15, and ‘16, but hadn’t completed two innings in relief in the majors since September of 2013, when he did it for the second time that season with the Tampa Bay Rays, for whom, coincidentally, Davey Martinez...
