Dylan Crews, who played 6 innings in RF on Sat/Sun for Rochester, will DH tonight and then play the outfield Wed/Thu for the Red Wings.

#Nats recalled right-hander Clayton Beeter (Amed Rosario trade with Yankees) from Triple-A Rochester and activated left-hander PJ Poulin (waiver claim from Tigers).

They optioned Zach Brzykcy and Ryan Loutos to Rochester.

Nationals optioned Ryan Loutos to AAA after the game.

Nationals have claimed LHP PJ Poulin off waivers from Tigers. 29-year-old was 7-1 with 3.38 ERA, 13.1 K/9 in 35 games (3 starts) at Triple-A Toledo this season.

Probables for A’s-Nats:

Tue - MacKenzie Gore vs. Luis Severino
Wed - TBA vs. Jeffrey Springs
Thu - Mitchell Parker vs. Jacob Lopez

Parker would be on normal rest Wednesday, so he gets an extra day. Cade Cavalli last pitched Thursday at AAA. Shinnosuke Ogasawara threw 60 pitches yesterday.

Irvin gives up early lead, bats frustrated in loss to Brewers (updated) No matter if and when the Nationals' offense showed up today against the Brewers, the pitching simply needed to be better.After allowing 16 runs and giving up a club-record 25 hits in Friday’s series-...

When James Wood gets visibly frustrated (rightfully so, by the way), you know it's a tough time for the Nats: "Obviously, it's just frustrating ... Just gotta find a way to move on."

Final: Nats fall 8-2 to Brewers. Jake Irvin gave up an early lead. Robert Hassell III hit a two-run homer. James Wood's frustrations continued. Miguel Cairo was ejected again.

Nats only collected 2 hits. Brewers collected 15.

Acting interim manager Henry Blanco comes out to pull Shinnosuke Ogasawara after the Brewers get three straight hits off the lefty to make it 6-2 in the eighth.

Orlando Ribalata enters from the 'pen.

James Wood once again was not happy with a call by this umpiring crew, this time on a check swing. On replay, it didn't look like he went and the home plate umpire didn't check with the ump down the line.

Miguel Cairo was tossed for the second time in three games for arguing.

Shinnosuke Ogasawara takes over for Jake Irvin in the fifth. Irvin finished 4 innings on 75 pitches.

Meanwhile, Ogasawara's walkup music is ... Coldplay!

Jake Irvin's first scoreless innings comes in the fourth. It's still 5-2 Brewers.

Yes, James Wood is struggling at the plate. But called third strikes like the seventh pitch here aren't helping.

Robert Hassell III takes Brandon Woodruff deep for a two-run homer. Cuts the deficit to 5-2 in the third.

Christian Yelich greets Jake Irvin with a first-pitch homer to lead off the third. It's 5-0 Brewers.

Brewers add another run off Jake Irvin in the second to make it 4-0. They're hitting him to right field a lot.

Jake Irvin puts the Nats in an early 3-0 hole on four hits and a walk in the top of the first. He threw 30 pitches, 19 strikes.

Anywhooo Sal Frelick hits a leadoff double off Jake Irvin and we're underway on a beautiful day in The District.

Cole Henry tried to deke the Brewers player, but he didn't budge. In the end, whoever was standing for Milwaukee won as Henry and Brzykcy left first.

I feel like the home team is always at a disadvantage in these because you don't want to throw off your own starting pitcher.

We have a post-anthem standoff at Nats Park. Cole Henry and Zach Brzykcy standing strong.

Wyatt Henseler becomes the first member of the Nats' 2025 draft class to be promoted to Single-A Fredericksburg. The infielder was a ninth-round pick out of Texas A&M.

Ruiz remaining patient, following concussion protocol while still in search of normalcy Keibert Ruiz walked around the Nationals' clubhouse with his usual big smile. He then had a playful interaction with CJ Abrams walking from his locker to the kitchen. All seemed normal.Except life is ...

Keibert Ruiz seemed normal back in the Nats clubhouse. But life is not normal for the catcher, who is still dealing with concussion symptoms.

Nats lineup vs. Brandon Woodruff. Jake Irvin takes the mound for the home team.

Tyler Stuart announced on Instagram he had Tommy John surgery. The Nats’ No. 15 prospect per MLB Pipeline only appeared in 10 games across three levels while dealing with the injury this season.

He was acquired from the Mets for Jesse Winker last year.

Parker, bullpen battered in blowout loss (updated) The post-trade-deadline portion of the 2025 Nationals season began tonight with a dud that neither offered much new hope for an August bounceback nor answered one of the great unknown questions now co...

Mitchell Parker and the Nationals bullpen combined to allow a club record 25 hits tonight to the best-in-baseball Brewers. Miguel Cairo: "That team is a pain-in-the-butt team. They make contact. They put the ball in play. They find a way to create runs."

Christian Franklin has reported to Triple-A Rochester. The outfielder was part of the package acquired from the Cubs for Michael Soroka.

First baseman Sam Brown has reported to Double-Harrisburg. The 23-year-old was part of the return from the Angels for Andrew Chafin and Luis Garcia (the reliever).

Highlights from Cairo’s pregame session:
* Was coy about who will close but hinted it will be one of young guys
* Ogasawara will be in pen for now, they don’t need starter til next week
* Will try to spread ABs around outfielders, but said guys have to earn playing time

Dylan Crews, who has played the last 3 nights for Rochester, will be off tonight and then play 6 innings both Saturday and Sunday.

Nationals recall Robert Hassell III, Ryan Loutos, Shinnosuke Ogasawara and Orlando Ribalta from Triple-A Rochester.

Dylan Crews went 0-for-2 and played four innings. Trey Lipscomb pinch-hit (and is playing right field) for him in the top of the fifth.
