Nationals' Jose Tena: Swipes bag, tallies RBI in loss
Tena went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.
Tena drove home James Wood with a two-out single in the top of the third before going on to steal his sixth base of the campaign. The shortstop would then add a leadoff single in the sixth to give him his sixth multi-hit performance this month. Tena has hit safely in 11 of his last 14 games, batting .309 (17-for-55) over that stretch with one homer, five RBI, five runs and five stolen bases.

Nationals' CJ Abrams: Four hits, two steals in loss
Abrams went 4-for-5 with two doubles, two stolen bases and two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.
Abrams singled to lead off the contest before going on to steal second and third, and eventually coming around to score on a knock from Andres Chaparro. The shortstop would also add two doubles before finishing the contest with his first four-hit performance of the season. Abrams has now hit safely in five straight games, posting multiple hits three times over that stretch. His two stolen bases Thursday also put him over the 30-steal mark for the second straight season in his young and promising career.

Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Allows five runs in no-decision
Corbin did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk over 4.1 innings while striking out four.
Corbin struggled early and often against the Cubs' lineup, giving up one run on three singles in the opening frame before then coughing up a two-run homer in the third. The veteran lefty was later relieved by Derek Law with one out in the fifth after the former allowed the first three batters to reach. Corbin did generate 12 swings and misses on the night, though it marked the first time he's failed to make it through five innings since Aug. 16 against the Phillies (span of five starts). He now carries a 6.14 ERA in September through four outings to go along with a strong 23:5 K:BB.

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting again Thursday
Garcia (wrist) isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Garcia will be missing his second straight start Thursday as a result of wrist discomfort that flared up during Tuesday's contest. As he continues to recover, Darren Baker will pick up a start at the keystone and bat eighth.

Nationals' Joey Gallo: Idle Thursday
Gallo isn't in Washington's lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Gallo's two home runs since the start of September represent the only hits he's tallied in his last 32 at-bats, so the Nats will sit him down Thursday in an effort to find more production at the plate. Juan Yepez will fill in as Washington's first baseman and bat seventh.

Nationals' Dylan Crews: Records steal in loss
Crews went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-0 loss to the Mets.
Crews was hitless for the third time in five games but still swiped a bag after getting aboard on a fielder's choice in the first inning. His speed has translated quickly at the major-league level with nine thefts on 11 attempts over his first 21 games. The bat hasn't been quite as good -- he's hitting .232 and slugging .390 with three home runs, eight RBI, eight runs scored and four doubles while seeing plenty of playing time in right field. It's also encouraging he was back to second in the order after finding success with a 3-for-4 performance batting seventh in Tuesday's contest.

Nationals' DJ Herz: Crumbles in fourth inning
Herz (4-8) took the loss Wednesday versus the Mets, allowing seven runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over 3.1 innings.
Herz cruised through three innings, but he was pulled after allowing the first eight batters to reach in the fourth. He had already given up four runs at the time of his exit, and Jacob Barnes let all three inherited runners cross the plate to put more damage on Herz's line. This was the southpaw's worst outing of the year, though he was able to avoid giving up a home run for the fifth time in six appearances. He's now at a 4.30 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 103:33 K:BB through 83.2 innings over 18 starts. His next projected start will likely be his last one of the campaign, which is tentatively set to be at home versus the Royals.

Nationals' Trevor Williams: Making return Friday
Williams (elbow) is scheduled to be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Friday against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The right-hander has been sidelined since late May due to a flexor strain, but he's ready to rejoin the Nationals after making two rehab starts with Double-A Harrisburg. Williams threw 73 pitches in the most recent outing, so any workload limitations shouldn't be significant. He was off to the best start of his career prior to the injury with a 2.22 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB across 56.2 innings.

Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Taking seat Wednesday

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Garcia (wrist) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Garcia was removed from Tuesday's contest with right wrist discomfort, although the exit was deemed precautionary. With lefty Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets, there's a good chance Garcia wouldn't have been starting even if he were 100 percent. Jose Tena will cover second base for the Nationals while Ildemaro Vargas occupies third.

Nationals' Alex Call: Nearing rehab assignment
Manager Dave Martinez said Tuesday that Call (foot) will embark on a rehab assignment soon in hopes of returning before the end of the regular season, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
The 29-year-old landed on the injured list in late August due to a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot, and he's now on the cusp of returning to game action. Call has been productive when up with the Nationals this season with a .343/.425/.525 slash line in 30 games, and a healthy finish to the campaign would set him up for a normal offseason heading into 2025.
