Stephen Strasburg throws six one-hit innings in rehab start for Red Wings Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg's rehab stint in Rochester continued to go well after another shining performance against Buffalo...
Stephen Strasburg - Rehab moves to Triple-A Strasburg (neck) is making a rehab start for Triple-A Rochester on Friday.
Impact He is coming off a stellar rehab outing at Single-A in which he struck out six over five no-hit innings. It's possible this could be Strasburg's final tuneup before joining the big-league rotation.

Lucius Fox - Recalled Friday Fox was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Bobby Blanco of MASN reports.
Impact Dee Strange-Gordon is on the paternity list, and Fox is up as a corresponding move. The speedy shortstop hit .289/.385/.467 with one home run and three steals in 45 at-bats at Triple-A, which is arguably the best offensive stretch of his career as a pro.

Keibert Ruiz - Resting Friday Ruiz is not in the starting lineup for Friday's contest against the Reds.

Andres Machado - Recalled from Triple-A Machado was promoted from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Machado will return to the big leagues after being sent down Tuesday, filling in for Josh Rogers (shoulder) who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday. The right-hander has produced a 5.40 ERA and 1.58 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 13.1 innings in 12 appearances with the Nationals this season.

Josh Rogers - Placed on 15-day IL Rogers was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday with a left shoulder impingement, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Rogers will now be away from the team for at least 15 days, but due to the fact that it is his throwing shoulder, it could be longer. Andres Machado was called up from Triple-A Rochester on Friday to take his spot in the bullpen.

Dee Strange-Gordon - Placed on paternity list Strange-Gordon was placed on the paternity list Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Strange-Gordon welcomed the birth of his son Friday morning and will now be away from the team for a few days. Luis Garcia will continue to the duties at shortstop while Lane Thomas could see an uptick in usage for the time being.

Josh Bell - Ends power drought Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Reds.
Impact His seventh-inning shot off Graham Ashcraft ended a brutal scoreless streak of 27.1 innings for the Nationals' offense, but it was the only run the team scrounged up in an 8-1 loss. Bell also snapped a personal 23-game homer drought, a stretch during which he slashed a feeble .253/.302/.276 with only eight RBI. On the season, the first baseman is batting .309 with five home runs and 29 RBI in 52 contest.

Joan Adon - Allows 10 baserunners in loss Adon (1-9) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings during an 8-1 defeat at the hands of Cincinnati.
Impact The rookie right-hander gave up a three-run blast to Joey Votto in the first inning. The damage could have been greater but Adon was able to induce two double-play balls during his time on the mound. It was the fifth time in 11 starts that he walked four or more batters. Despite the mediocre showing, the outing actually lowered his ERA to 5.98. Adon's next start will likely be in the middle of next week in Miami.

Rookie Ashcraft tosses another gem, Reds beat Nationals 8-1

Cole Henry - Promoted to Triple-A Henry was promoted from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Henry was dominant in Harrisburg early in 2022, posting a 0.76 ERA and 0.60 WHIP in 23.2 innings over seven starts. After missing time last year due to elbow soreness, the team appeared to be managing his workload in 2022 since he didn't last longer than four innings in any of his Double-A starts. However, the righty will still be rewarded with a promotion to the Triple-A level. The 22-year-old has responded well to improved competition over the last few years, and it's possible he's in the mix to join the Nationals late in 2022 or sometime in 2023.

Nelson Cruz - Three walks in loss Cruz (ankle) went 0-for-1 with three walks in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to the Mets.
Impact Cruz missed one game after being hit by a pitch above his left ankle Monday. The designated hitter wasn't able to get a hit against Carlos Carrasco and three Mets relievers, but the three walks were a season high for Cruz. The 41-year-old is up to an 11.3 percent walk rate this year. He's added a .235/.325/.341 slash line with four home runs, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base through 47 contests.

Evan Lee - Takes loss in big-league debut Lee (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 3.2 innings, taking the loss versus the Mets on Wednesday.
Impact Lee pitched fairly well in his first action above the Double-A level, but the Nationals' offense didn't support him very well. The 24-year-old southpaw has done alright with a 3.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:15 K:BB across 30 innings in seven starts with Double-A Harrisburg. Manager Davey Martinez said after the game that Lee is likely to get at least one more turn in the rotation, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Lee's next start is likely to be on the road in Miami next Tuesday barring any changes to the Nationals' plans, but he's still got a ways to go before securing his spot in the majors, as Stephen Strasburg (neck) is expected back around the middle of June.
