CJ Abrams - Remains red hot with two homers Abrams went 2-for-3 with two home runs, a walk and four total RBI in a loss to the Rockies on Tuesday.

Impact Abrams slugged a two-run shot to center field in the first inning and added another two-run blast in the third. The All-Star shortstop has homered in three straight games, producing four long balls and eight RBI over that stretch. The power surge has lifted Abrams to 24 home runs on the campaign, tied for ninth in the majors with fellow shortstop Colson Montgomery. Abrams is also tied for the league lead with 76 RBI and ranks 12th with an .892 OPS.

Miles Mikolas - Ineffective as bulk reliever Mikolas allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out one batter over 3.2 relief innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Tuesday.

Impact Mikolas inherited a 4-2 deficit when he entered with two outs and a runner on first base in the second inning. The right-hander got out of that frame without allowing the inherited runner to cross the plate, but Washington scored in three of the remaining four innings in which he appeared. Mikolas has been better this season as a bulk reliever than as a traditional starter, but his overall 5.60 ERA and 4.7 K/9 make him an unappealing fantasy asset in all but the deepest of leagues. He's projected to make his next appearance -- either as a starter or in bulk relief -- at home versus Toronto.

Eddy Yean - Back in majors The Nationals recalled Yean from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander received his first promotion to the majors July 5 and made his debut that day versus Pittsburgh, firing two scoreless frames before returning to Rochester. Yean has pitched to a 3.35 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 43 innings for Rochester this year, and it may not take much for him to stick around Washington's bullpen given the immense struggles the unit has gone through this year.

Justin Lawrence - Designated for assignment The Nationals designated Lawrence for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Lawrence was a waiver claim in late June and allowed three runs with a 6:7 K:BB over 6.1 innings with the Nationals. The righty holds a 7.34 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 43:28 K:BB across 34.1 frames between the Nats, Twins and Pirates this season, and this is the third time since late May that he's been designated for assignment.

Riley Cornelio - Collects first big-league win Cornelio (1-1) picked up the win Monday, walking two batters over 1.2 no-hit, scoreless relief innings in a victory over the Rockies. He didn't record a strikeout.

Impact It was the 26-year-old's first career win in his eighth appearance. Control continues to elude Cornelio for the most part, as he has a 17:15 K:BB through 16.1 innings with a 6.06 ERA and 1.90 WHIP, and he'll remain in a low-leverage role as long as that continues.

Curtis Mead - Three hits in Monday's win Mead went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Impact The Nationals cranked out 12 hits in total, including five extra-base hits, to kick off the Coors Field series, and Mead's three knocks lead the way. The 25-year-old infielder has seven multi-hit performances through 13 games in July, slashing .431/.500/.765 on the month with 10 of his 22 hits (six doubles, one triple, three homers) going for extra bases.

CJ Abrams - Goes yard again Monday Abrams went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's win over the Rockies.

Impact The Nationals kicked off a Coors Field series in style with three long balls, and Abrams launched the third of them by taking Antonio Senzatela deep in the seventh inning. Abrams has left the yard in back-to-back contests, and through 13 games in July he's produced a .288/.322/.577 slash line with four of his 22 homers on the season, along with three doubles, two steals, seven runs and 12 RBI.

Carson Palmquist - Serving as opener in Colorado Palmquist will be the Nationals' opening pitcher Tuesday in Colorado, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact Palmquist is capable of more length than most openers, having struck out four over three innings of one-run ball in his last opener assignment versus the Yankees on July 10. Depending on how things go, it could be closer to a piggyback situation with Miles Mikolas, who is pegged for bulk relief.

Miles Mikolas - Following opener Tuesday Mikolas will be deployed as a bulk reliever in Tuesday's game versus the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact Mikolas went four scoreless innings in bulk relief his last time out against the Yankees and has fared much better this season in that role (3.51 ERA) than he has as a traditional starter (8.53 ERA). Carson Palmquist will serve as the Nationals' opener.
