    Andrés Chaparro homered and doubled in three at-bats against the Phillies on Tuesday.

    Both hits came off Cristopher Sánchez. Chaparro has slowed down some, but his .258/.356/.517 line through 205 plate appearances is still awfully nice, and he’s back playing a little more of late; he’s started four of the Nationals’ last five games after being included in the lineup in just three of the previous seven games.

    It’s nothing more than a routine day of rest for the 24-year-old outfielder. James Wood will shift to right field with Andres Chaparro drawing a start as the Nats’ designated hitter. He’ll bat third against Angels’ inconsistent right-hander Grayson Rodriguez.
  • WSH Left Fielder #4
    Lile will get a rare night off with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Angels in this one. Dylan Crews will slide over and cover left field in his place while James Wood covers right field and Andres Chaparro draws a start as the Nationals’ designated hitter and will bat second.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #87
    Continuing to impress in a part-time role, Chaparro was the extent of the Nationals’ offense in a game where they were thrashed 13-1. He accounted for three of their seven total hits, two of their four extra-base hits, and drove home their lone run with a solo home run. They’ve been sneaking him into the lineup more so against right-handed pitchers lately because they’ve only faced one lefty in their last 13 games and Chaparro’s role had been to be a lefty-masher. It’s tough to ignore a .906 OPS though.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #87
    The official Nationals Communications Department tweeted out six days ago about Chaparro being first in the majors in slugging and OPS since the All-Star break. Alas, actual Nationals management couldn’t care less. They’re probably right about Chaparro not being a long-term regular, but he is hitting .343/.410/.686 in his very limited action against righties this season, and it’s interesting that the team just doesn’t really want to give him a chance. Of course, it’s not helping right now that CJ Abrams is again DHing due to his ankle injury; Chaparro might have gotten the nod there tonight if Abrams was at short or second.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #87
    In a rare start against a right-handed pitcher, Chaparro showed why he may deserve to play more often. He had three batted balls of at least 104 mph and was a thorn in the side of the Rangers’ pitchers all night. His three-run home run broke this game open in the seventh inning and he could be an intriguing deep league option should he get a bit more playing time.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #81
    Ortiz takes a seat with lefty Shota Imanaga toeing the rubber for Chicago in this one. He’ll continue to sit in favor of Andrés Chaparro against most left-handers over the final few weeks of the season. The 24-year-old rookie has gone deep twice in seven games since returning to the majors last week. He’s at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues based on his power upside.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #87
    Chaparro entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning and struck out. He redeemed himself in the eighth though, smacking a two-run double that capped off the scoring in the ballgame. For the season, the 27-year-old is now slashing .235/.348/.500 with six long balls and 28 RBI in 115 plate appearances with the Nationals this season.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #87
    Chaparro pinch hit in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and hit a two-run double to left field. He came up again in the eighth inning and had a two-out RBI single. Even after the trade deadline, it appears the Nationals are content to continue to use Chaparro mostly as a platoon bat against left-handed pitching. He’s hitting .229 with an .835 OPS and 26 RBI.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #81
    Ortiz, who homered during Monday’s series opener in Philadelphia, takes a seat with Andrés Chaparro getting the nod to face lefty Jesús Luzardo. The 24-year-old has an interesting fantasy skillset since he offers some over-the-fence pop and should bat near the heart of Washington’s lineup. He’s probably going to sit against most lefties over the final two months, but should do enough damage against right-handers to merit roster consideration in deeper mixed leagues.
  • WSH 1st Baseman #81
    Instead of just turning first base over to hot-hitting Andrés Chapparo with Luis García Jr. gone, the Nationals will take a longer look at Ortiz, who was part of the MacKenzie Gore trade with the Rangers. He was hitting .244/.348/.497 with 18 homers for Rochester. Of the two, he does have the better chance of being a useful starter against righties in 2026, and he could have some NL-only value now. Chaparro has made a case for an expanded role, but he still figures to work best as a platoon guy against lefties going forward.

    Bryce Eldridge could play Saturday after missing Friday’s game with a head laceration.

    Eldridge, a surprising scratch Friday, banged his head on a low-hanging ceiling at the Giants team hotel. However, he passes tests afterwards, and it sounds like he might have played tonight if the Giants were in the race.

    Tyler Glasnow fanned 10 while allowing two runs in six innings Friday in a win over the Giants.

    Rebounding nicely from a couple of subpar outings, Glasnow allowed just three hits and three hard-hit balls tonight. He’s now 5-1 with a 3.46 ERA. His last start of the regular season will likely come Thursday against the Padres.

    In his first outing back from the IL, Edwin Díaz struck out two in a scoreless ninth against the Giants on Friday.

    Expectations are low for Díaz at the moment, but he was sharp tonight in throwing 12 of his 17 pitches for strikes while pitching with a six-run lead. He averaged 97.6 mph with his fastball, with his 1.3 mph better than his season norm, and he lowered his ERA from 11.85 to 11.05.

    Cesar Perdomo allowed two runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings Friday against the Dodgers.

    Perdomo did a nice job limiting the damage in an outing in which he allowed six hits, walked three and struck out just one. He’ll probably make a final start next week against the Twins.

    Josue De Paula finished 2-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk against the Giants on Friday.

    We don’t want to jump the gun, but it sure looks like DePaula is going to be on the Dodgers’ postseason roster, even if he’s not a starter following Shohei Ohtani’s return. He’s at .238/.448/.476 with a ludicrous 2/8 K/BB through 29 plate appearances.

    Ty France went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in leading the Padres to an 8-2 win over the Marlins on Friday.

    France is now hitting .301, though he’s going to need 37 plate appearances in the Padres’ final eight games to qualify for the batting title. He’s just a little short of the leaderboard at the moment or else he’d be seventh in the majors in average and ninth with an .887 OPS.

    Nick Pivetta tossed five innings of one-run ball Friday against the Marlins.

    Pivetta allowed four hits, walked one and struck out four to win for the second time in three starts since coming off the IL. He got up to 76 pitches tonight after throwing 63 and 69 in his first two starts back. Things are lined up for him to face the Dodgers next week and then start Game 2 of a potential Wild Card series for the Padres.

    Tyler Phillips tossed 3 2/3 scoreless frames before being lifted Friday against the Padres.

    The Marlins are still being very aggressive, even though the postseason is almost certainly out of reach, and that meant yanking Phillips with a 1-0 lead in the fourth tonight. Cade Gibson did finish that inning without a run scoring, but then he and Tyler Zuber combined to give up six runs in the sixth. Phillips was also pulled in the fourth last time out. He has a decent enough 4.08 ERA in his 19 starts, but the Marlins don’t trust him to pitch more than twice around the order. He’ll face the Cubs next.

    Agustín Ramírez went 3-for-4 with a homer against the Padres on Friday.

    Ramírez was the Marlins’ DH tonight. He’s caught a total of 34 innings since being recalled on Aug. 4, and he hasn’t really shined as DH while batting .233/.320/.384 in 33 games. It’ll be interesting to see what the Marlins’ plans are for him next year. He’s definitely not going to overtake Joe Mack behind the plate, and while he still has some upside offensively, he’s yet to look like he’d be helpful as a first baseman or DH. He could be trade bait, but he might not fetch much unless some team thinks it can turn him into a better defender behind the plate.

    Ben Rice homered, tripled and walked twice as the Yankees decimated the D-backs 9-2 on Friday,

    Rice has 39 homers, which is far and away a record for Yankees who qualify at catcher for fantasy purposes. Gary Sánchez, at 34, holds the actual single-season record for Yankees catchers. One more will give Rice the 36th 40-homer season in Yankees history.
