Nationals News
The Nationals are buzzing with the impending activation of righty Cole Henry from the Injured List, a move that signifies bolstered bullpen depth with PJ Poulin being sent down to AAA. Meanwhile, rookie lefty Foster Griffin is beginning to turn heads, as he vies for the National League Rookie of the Year title, adding excitement to an already compelling season. The Nats' own record of 29-28 reflects a surprising resilience, backed by strong performances not just from the big league squad but also from their minor league affiliates, notably the Rochester Red Wings. As the Padres roll into town, it’s a perfect moment to revisit the monumental Juan Soto trade that reshaped the franchise's future. With hot bats like CJ Abrams and James Wood leading the charge, the atmosphere is ripe for both reflection and anticipation.
