Luis Garcia Jr.

WAS Second Baseman #2

Luis García Jr. went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Phillies.

What a year it’s been for García. He smoked an 0-2 knuckle curve from Aaron Nola that caught a little too much of the plate for a lead-off home run. He’ll end his breakout season with 18 homers, 22 stolen bases, a .282/.318/.444 slash line, and will still be 24 years old when next season begins.
Jake Irvin

WAS Starting Pitcher #27

Jake Irvin surrendered five hits and six runs over 4 1/3 innings with three walks and three strikeouts in a loss to the Phillies on Sunday.

Irvin’s poor second half mercifully ended with another clunker. The Phillies jumped on him for two runs in the first inning and then he fell apart in the fifth when the first four batters he faced reached base and then Weston Wilson hit a back-breaking two-run double. He’s tried to move away from his curveball lately after its effectiveness waned as his primary pitch, but his fastball and sinker aren’t good enough to carry this much of the load. He will need to find a new wrinkle before next season if he wants to reach the same heights he had in the first half.
Dylan Crews

WAS Right Fielder #3

Dylan Crews went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base against the Phillies on Saturday.

Crews’ stolen base was his 11th of the year. Stealing 11 bases in 30 games with a .266 on-base percentage bodes well for Crews’ future stolen base potential provided he can get on base more often in the future. He had a .340 OBP with Triple-A this year so we shouldn’t read too much into Crews’ slow start to his major league career.
James Wood

WAS Left Fielder #29

James Wood went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a triple and a two-run home run against the Phillies on Saturday.

Wood’s home run was his ninth of the year. He hit a two-run shot off Zack Wheeler in the sixth inning. Wood’s hitting .269 with a .794 OPS and 41 RBI in 290 at-bats on the season. He turned 22 earlier this month. Wood has the potential to be a five-category fantasy stud in the future.
MacKenzie Gore

WAS Starting Pitcher #1

MacKenzie Gore tossed six scoreless innings and got a no-decision in the Nationals’ 6-3 victory over the Phillies on Saturday.

Gore gave up three hits, walked one and struck out nine. He closed out the season with back-to-back starts with nine strikeouts. Gore finished the year 10-12 with a 3.90 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 181 strikeouts in 166 1/3 innings. He’ll turn 26 before next season. There’s still room for growth for the former No. 3 overall draft pick.
Trevor Williams

WAS Starting Pitcher #32

Trevor Williams shut out the Phillies for five innings and struck out five in the Nationals’ 9-1 win Friday.

Williams will be an awfully interesting free agent this winter after finishing the season 6-1 with a stunning 2.03 ERA in 13 starts. He allowed a total of three homers in 66 2/3 innings. Last year, he gave up 34 to top the NL while amassing a 5.55 ERA in 144 1/3 innings.
Stone Garrett

WAS Left Fielder #36

Stone Garrett went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, three RBI and three runs scored in his 2024 debut Friday against the Phillies.

Good for Garrett, who hit just three homers in 79 minor league games this season as he made his way back from a broken leg. The Nats called him up Tuesday and could send him right back down with Andrés Chapparo set to return from the paternity list. Hopefully, though, this will get him a chance to stay with the team through the weekend
Jackson Rutledge

WAS Starting Pitcher #79

Nationals recalled RHP Jackson Rutledge from Triple-A Rochester.

Rutledge finished strong for the Red Wings, pitching 13 scoreless innings in his final two starts. Overall, though, he had a 6.40 ERA and walked 77 over 122 1/3 innings in Triple-A. One imagines he’ll be in some danger of getting DFA’d or non-tendered this winter. First, though, he’ll get to spend the final weekend in the bullpen.
DJ Herz

WAS Starting Pitcher #74

Nationals optioned LHP DJ Herz to the FCL Nationals.

The Nats want an extra arm, so Herz, who made his final start Wednesday, won’t get to finish his rookie season on the active roster.
Luis Garcia Jr.

WAS Second Baseman #2

Luis Garcia Jr. hit a three-run homer in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.

Garcia Jr. hit a three-run blast in the third inning to turned a 4-1 deficit into a 4-4 tie. The 24-year-old has put together a solid season with the Nats in 2024 with 17 homers, a .278 average and 68 RBI. Those are fantasy-relevant numbers, but at his age, it’s certainly possible a breakout season could come in 2025.
