Nationals News
The Washington Nationals are set to debut pitcher Riley Cornelio on Friday, continuing their trend of promoting young talent amid a season that has taken a downturn, with an 11-15 record and a recent 2-7 loss to the Braves. Cionel Pérez's struggles have become glaring, as evidenced by his rough outing that inflated his ERA, leaving the bullpen to shoulder the blame once again. With both the Nationals and the Chicago White Sox hovering near the bottom of their respective divisions, this weekend's series presents a chance for both teams to showcase their potential amid their rebuilding phases. Meanwhile, Dylan Crews is busy trying to impress in Triple-A, hinting at a brighter future on the horizon. Despite the current malaise, the offense is showing flashes of brilliance, but the Nats desperately need their pitching to step up if they hope to turn this ship around.
