Keibert Ruiz - Three hits in lossRuiz went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

The switch-hitting catcher is batting .297 (11-for-37) over that stretch, pushing his slash line on the season to .240/.300/.389 with a career-high eight homers in 250 plate appearances as the Nationals continue to give the 24-year-old a heavy workload.

Carson Kelly - Two more hits ThursdayKelly went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 5-3 win over Washington.
ImpactAfter going hitless in his first 14 at-bats off the injured list, Kelly has four hits in the subsequent seven at-bats. He had been on the 60-day IL to start the season, and initial futility is the norm for players coming back from such a long stretch of not seeing MLB pitching.

ImpactChafin rolled an ankle Tuesday and was unavailable to pitch the last two days. He pitched the eighth inning Thursday while Scott McGough recorded the save, his third in as many appearances. Chafin's last save was May 29, though he remains a trusted late-inning arm.
