Nationals' Michael Soroka: Keeps Padres close in steady start
Soroka did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings in the loss to the Padres.
Soroka turned in a solid outing Friday, with the only damage coming on a second-inning sacrifice fly from Jake Cronenworth. However, a lack of offensive support from Washington's lineup once again left the right-hander without a chance at a win. Still, it was a step in the right direction for the 27-year-old, who has now allowed two or fewer runs in three of his last four starts. Soroka will carry a 5.10 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 77:21 K:BB into his next start, which is scheduled for Wednesday against the Reds.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Back in action Friday
Abrams (shoulder) is starting at shortstop and batting leadoff Friday against the Padres, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
The 24-year-old was scratched from the lineup for the final game of the first half last Sunday due to shoulder soreness, but he's good to go coming out of the All-Star break. Through 82 games this season, Abrams is on pace for a career campaign with 12 homers, 20 steals and a .287/.353/.483 slash line.

Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Slowly resuming baseball activities
Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo said Friday that Ruiz (concussion) has started participating in baseball activities, but the Nationals plan to ramp up his workload slowly, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Ruiz landed on the 7-day concussion injured list July 8, and Washington is taking a cautious approach with his return to the active roster. Ruiz doesn't have an official target date for his return and should be considered week-to-week as he continues to ramp up his baseball work.

Nationals' Dylan Crews: Nearing rehab stint
Nationals interim manager Miguel Cairo said Friday that Crews (oblique) is close to starting a rehab assignment, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The 23-year-old outfielder has been sidelined nearly two months due to an oblique strain, but he's recently been ramping up his baseball activities and is closing in on his return to game action. Crews will likely need at least a handful of games in the minors before being reinstated, and he appears to be tracking toward being activated from the IL in early August.

Nationals' Brad Lord: Stepping into rotation
Lord will fill the fifth spot in Washington's rotation, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.
Lord made six trips through the rotation from April to early May before being bumped to the bullpen. He logged a 1-4 record with a 4.44 ERA and a 21:9 K:BB across 26.1 innings as a starter. Lord has posted a 2.70 ERA in 36,2 innings of relief since. He'll return to the rotation coming out of the All-Star break after Shinnosuke Ogasawara was optioned to Triple-A Rochester. Lord is on track to start during a three-game home series against Cincinnati early next week. Per Byron Kerr of MLB.com, Lord will throw 45-to-50 pitches in his first start.

Nationals' Derek Law: Undergoing season-ending surgery
Law (forearm) has a partial tear of his right flexor tendon and will undergo season-ending surgery to repair it, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Law is shooting for a mid-season return in 2026, as he'll undergo a procedure to repair a torn flexor tendon in his throwing arm. The 33-year-old had already been sidelined for the entirety of the campaign with forearm inflammation. He will be a free agent at the conclusion of the 2025 season.

Nationals' Coy James: Taken in fifth round
The Nationals have selected James with the 142nd overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
One of the better pure hitters from the high school ranks, James has a quick, compact stroke and a long track record of performing against quality pitching. He is hit-over-power, but he could grow into 20-homer power as he matures. He has slowed down to the point where he won't be much of a threat on the bases and may not have the range to stick at shortstop. James is thought to have as strong commitment to Ole Miss, so he could need an aggressive signing bonus to turn pro.

Nationals' Brad Lord: Emerging as bullpen weapon
Lord has a 2.79 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB in 38.2 innings over 29 relief appearances this season.
The rookie right-hander made six starts earlier in the year with less impressive results, but since shifting to the bullpen Lord has found his groove. He's been even more effective since the beginning of June, delivering a 2.19 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over his last 24.2 innings while recording six of his seven holds on the season. He doesn't have the strikeout upside typical of high-leverage arms, but Lord could find himself in the closer picture for the Nationals if Kyle Finnegan gets shipped out at the trade deadline.

Nationals' Jackson Rutledge: Lit up to close out first half
Rutledge coughed up four runs on four hits, including two home runs, over just one-third of an inning in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.
His lone out did come via strikeout, but it was still a rough way for the 26-year-old righty to end the first half. Rutledge boasted an ERA of 2.08 back on May 6 and looked like a potential high-leverage option for the Nationals' bullpen, but since then things have gone completely off the rails for the 2019 first-round pick. On the season, Rutledge carries a 6.92 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 36:16 K:BB through 40.1 innings, and he's served up an ugly 12 homers.

Nationals' Miguel Sime: Picked by Washington
The Nationals selected Sime with the 111th overall pick of the 2025 First-Year Player Draft.
Sime is a 6-foot-4 right-hander who features a power fastball that touches 99 mph while averaging 95 mph. The 18-year-old still needs to work on consistently finding the zone but certainly has the stuff to pitch in the majors, especially if he can further improve his secondary offerings.
