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.

    The Nats actually had options for an Opening Day starter, but even in their deep rotation, Stephen Strasburg unquestionably is the man.
  • 1y
    Nationals manager Davey Johnson says it could be a month before Chien-Ming Wang is ready to return from a hamstring injury. In the meantime, John Lannan is assuming the final rotation spot.
  • 1y
    If John Lannan wants to make as strong a case as possible to open the season as the Nationals' No. 5 starter in place ofan injured Chien-Ming Wang today would represent a golden opportunity.

    The 23-year-old hurler will be on the mound April 5 at Chicago's Wrigley Field for Opening Day.
  • 1y
    Stephen Strasburg tossed five strong innings Tuesday night against the Mets, a start that puts the young ace on track to pitch the Nationals' season opener in Chicago.
  • 1y
    Nationals GM Mike Rizzo says Bryce Harper could answer the club's long-term need in center field and also explains why the 19-year-old was sent to Class AAA, not Class AA.
  • 1y
    Nationals closer Drew Storen hasn't pitched since March 7 and has been kept away from the club in recent days because of strep throat.
