Dansby Swanson - Two hits including homer Swanson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's victory against the Nationals.
Impact Swanson singled in the first inning before his solo home run off Kyle Finnegan in the eighth frame provided the difference in Tuesday's 3-2 win. The right-hander has now gone deep 21 times this season and four times in his last 12 games. Over that stretch, Swanson has batted .245 with four homers, nine RBI and five runs scored over 49 at-bats.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Travis d'Arnaud - Two-run homer in win D'Arnaud went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.
Impact D'Arnaud took Erasmo Ramirez deep in the bottom of the fourth frame, driving in teammate Matt Olson in the process. The long ball was the catcher's 18th of the season and fourth in September. Since the beginning of the month, d'Arnaud has batted .333 with four homers, seven RBI and 10 runs scored over 12 games.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kenley Jansen - Holds on for 36th save Jansen earned a save after he pitched one inning, surrendering an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out two in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Nationals.
Impact Jansen was called upon to protect a 3-1 lead in the top of the ninth, but quickly ran into trouble. The first two batters he faced reached base before he registered two strikeouts in a row, but a two-out Luis Garcia singled scored a run. After an intentional walk to Joey Meneses, Jansen was able to get Luke Voit to fly out to end the contest, earning his 36th save of the year. The 34-year-old has now pitched four straight scoreless appearances after he blew a save and got the loss Sept. 11 against the Mariners. Jansen now owns a 3.63 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 75 punchouts over 57 innings in 58 appearances while going 36-for-43 on save opportunities this year.
SEPTEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Charlie Morton - Pitches into sixth Morton (9-6) got the win after he pitched 5.1 innings, surrendering one run on three hits and three walks while striking out nine Tuesday versus the Nationals.
Impact Morton returned to form Tuesday, pitching into the sixth inning while striking out at least nine batters for the first time in five starts. The only blemish on his line came in the top of the sixth inning when a run came around to score after he had exited the contest. Morton has had an up-and-down September so far, producing a 3.97 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 28 strikeouts over 22.2 innings in four starts. The right-hander tentatively lines up to pitch again Sunday on the road versus the Phillies.

Bryce Elder - Starting Wednesday vs. Nationals Elder will start Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact Spencer Strider's oblique is bothering him, so he will be pushed back a few days and Elder will step into the rotation Wednesday in order to allow Max Fried to line up against the Phillies on Thursday. Elder dazzled in his last two MLB starts, striking out 16 and allowing just one earned run in 13 total innings.

Spencer Strider - Oblique ailing, next start TBD Strider is dealing with a sore oblique and will be pushed back a few days, so he may not make a start this week, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Impact He lined up to start Friday in Philadelphia, so if he is indeed pushed back "a few" days, he could pitch early next week in Washington. Bryce Elder, who is entering the rotation Wednesday, could stick around in the rotation if Strider needs to miss more than one turn through the rotation.

Austin Riley - Slugs 37th homer Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.
Impact He got the party started for Atlanta by taking Cory Abbott deep in the first inning. Riley's slashing .250/.326/.526 over his last 20 contests with six of his career-high 37 homers on the year, and he has 15 games left in the regular season to drive home the eight runs he needs to record his second straight 100-RBI campaign.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kenley Jansen - Notches 35th save Jansen struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Monday to record his 35th save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Nationals.
Impact There has been chatter recently that Raisel Iglesias might bump Jansen from his closer role, but that hasn't come to pass as Iglesias worked the eighth Monday and collected his 11th hold, while Jansen reeled in his second straight save and fifth in seven September chances. The 34-year-old's 3.68 ERA on the month might be fueling the speculation, but it comes with a 0.82 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB through 7.1 innings. With Atlanta hot on the heels of the Mets for the NL East title, it might take a total meltdown from Jansen for him to lose his grip on the ninth.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Wright - Picks up 19th win Wright (19-5) allowed two runs on eight hits and one walk over six innings to earn the win over the Nationals on Monday. He struck out seven.
Impact Wright has been one of the biggest surprises of the season, and he made his layup at home against the Nats to continue his breakout campaign. No other pitcher in baseball has more than 17 wins, so Wright has a real shot to be the first and only pitcher to reach 20 wins in 2022. The right-hander has had a couple hiccups in the second half where you wouldn't expect them, but regardless he's 8-1 with a 3.60 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 10 starts since the All-Star break.
SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Olson - Ends drought at dish Olson went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.
Impact Olson's stat line wasn't eye-popping from a fantasy standpoint by any means, but it was likely a welcome sight for his managers nonetheless amid a prolonged skid at the plate. Since mashing a three-run home run in a win over the Athletics on Sept. 6, Olson slashed .053/.122/.053 with a 34.1 percent strikeout rate over his subsequent 10 games. Even after the two-hit game, Olson is batting just .235, the lowest average of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign.
