Nationals

Among many other traits, Bryce Harper has shown an uncanny ability to learn from his mistakes and rarely, if ever, repeat them.
The top holds steady, but almost as interesting is what's going on in the cellar, as Houston and Miami battle for ignominy.
Here’s a look at five players who were hot, and five players who were not over the past week.

Team talk

    Fresh off back-to-back comeback victories at Wrigley Field, the Nationals look to go 3-0 for the season. Nats Insider Mark Zuckerman has live updates all afternoon.
  • 1y
    Anthony Rendon, the Nationals' 2011 first-round draft pick, suffered an apparent left leg injury Saturday night after slipping around third base with Class A Potomac.
  • 1y
    With another late rally against the Cubs, the Nationals improved to 2-0 and perhaps established an identity that could define this team all season.
  • 1y
    Gio Gonzalez labored through a ragged debut start, but the Nationals once again rallied late against the Cubs' bullpen to improve to 2-0.
  • 1y
    After homering in his rehab game at Class AA Friday night, Nationals left fielder Michael Morse is spending the day in New York receiving treatment on his recovering right lat muscle.
  • 1y
    Gio Gonzalez has had 3 12 months to prepare for his first start with the Nationals. Once he takes the mound Saturday in Chicago, the lefty hopes all those butterflies disappear.
  • 1y
    As closers around the league continue to go down with injuries, the Nationals' decision to sign Brad Lidge looks increasingly smart.
