Lane Thomas - Swipes two bags, plates threeThomas went 1-for-4 with three RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
ImpactThomas notched his first hit of the season with a two-run scoring single in the fifth inning. However, he wasn't done yet as he promptly stole both second and third before the inning concluded. Thomas had a tough opening weekend, going only 1-for-12 against the Reds, but looks to turn things around with two home series against the Pirates and Phillies this week.

CJ Abrams - Crushes first homerAbrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Reds.
ImpactAbrams went deep for the first time this season, hitting a monster 429-foot home run to center off Nick Martinez. The 23-year-old needed 19 games last season before hitting his first homer, so it's encouraging to see him find the bleachers in the Nationals' first series of 2024. Abrams and his team now return back to Washington for two home series against the Pirates and Phillies this week.

Kyle Finnegan - Blows save, takes lossFinnegan (0-1) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Reds. He allowed three runs on three hits and no walks with no strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning.
ImpactFinnegan began his outing Sunday by promptly generating two outs via lineouts and looked well on his way to a second save in as many days. However, the Reds lineup had a different idea as the next three batters each produced extra bases. Finnegan yielded a double to Jonathan India, game-tying homer to Will Benson then a walk-off homer to Christian Encarnacion-Strand. Finnegan didn't have the strongest grip on the Nationals' closer job before this game, so keep an eye on this bullpen as Hunter Harvey could easily enter the discussion for saves in Washington.
