Nationals | Danny Espinosa to work on approach

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:58:50 -0700

The Washington Nationals want 2B Danny Espinosa to work on his approach at the plate with Triple-A Syracuse. Espinosa went 2-for-21 with an RBI, three walks and 14 strikeouts while on his rehab assignment. "We need for him to get to a place in his mechanics and his approach that allows him to put the barrel of the bat on the ball and to utilize the other skills that he has: power, speed, defense and that type of thing," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "He has to be more consistent and have an approach that allows him to succeed at this level." Rizzo said 2B Anthony Rendon's performance at the big league level won't impact the team's plans for Espinosa.

Fantasy Tip: There is no timetable for how long Espinosa might be working down on the farm, meaning Rendon owners shouldn't be worried that he'll lose playing time in the immediate future.

Nationals | Danny Espinosa activated, optioned

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:13:31 -0700

Updating a previous report, Washington Nationals 2B Danny Espinosa (wrist) has been activated from the disabled list and has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

Fantasy Tip: Good news for Anthony Rendon owners. He should have a hold on the second base gig for at least the next few weeks, but there's a good chance it'll be much longer.

Nationals | Danny Espinosa might stay in minors

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 09:04:58 -0700

Washington Nationals 2B Danny Espinosa (wrist) could stay in the minors after his rehab assignment is done, per general manager Mike Rizzo, but that decision hasn't been made yet. Anthony Rendon has played well, and Espinosa needs to work on getting fully healthy and fixing his swing.

Fantasy Tip: Rendon owners would be pleased. It's going to be tough for the Nats to play both consistently without an injury to someone else. Espinosa could be worth a stash in deep leagues if someone ditched him, but getting a payoff will probably require patience.

Nationals | Bryce Harper resuming activities soon

Wed, 19 Jun 2013 08:59:25 -0700

Washington Nationals OF Bryce Harper (knee) will resume baseball activities in "the next day or two" but doesn't have a timetable to return to the field, general manager Mike Rizzo said on the radio Wednesday, June 19.

Fantasy Tip: An extended Harper absence looks like it could last until sometime next month.

Nationals | Denard Span's swing not right

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:11:34 -0700

Washington Nationals OF Denard Span (foot), who isn't in the lineup Monday, June 17, after fouling another pitch off his foot, said the reason he's fouled a ball off his foot three times in two and a half months is because his swing isn't right. He said he's "getting around the ball" when he swings, meaning he's straightening his arms early in his swing. Manager Davey Johnson thinks Span's mechanics are fine and that he just needs better timing. Span is hitting only .256 with a .312 on-base percentage, 25 and 41 points below his career averages. Span is hoping to return Tuesday, June 18, after receiving treatment on his foot.

Nationals | More on Bryce Harper

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:46:59 -0700

Updating a previous report, Washington Nationals OF Bryce Harper (knee) has no timetable for his return after trainer Lee Kuntz cleared him to start walking and jogging. Harper hasn't had pain during range-of-motion exercises. "We're going to re-evaluate this almost daily," Kuntz said. "We're adding bricks every day, trying to improve upon what we did yesterday and not lose any ground. You got to see how he reacts to the one thing before you add the second thing." Once he can sprint and take batting practice, he'll likely play in only two or three minor league games before returning.

Nationals | Bryce Harper improves

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:59:52 -0700

Washington Nationals OF Bryce Harper (knee) was examined by trainer Lee Kuntz Monday, June 17, and the swelling is down in Harper's knee. Kuntz said Harper is ready to move to "ground-based activities."

Fantasy Tip: This is positive news for Harper owners, but he's not in the clear yet. He'll need to progress to running before he can return to full on baseball activities. Continue to monitor his progress.

Nationals | Stephen Strasburg strong in return despite loss

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 23:29:12 -0700

Washington Nationals SP Stephen Strasburg, who had not pitched since May 31 due to a strained muscle in his back, appeared in solid form as he allowed just one run over five innings. He received no support from the National bats, however, as the Cleveland Indians won 2-0 on Sunday, June 16.

Nationals | Bryce Harper performs exercises

Sun, 16 Jun 2013 18:07:44 -0700

Washington Nationals OF Bryce Harper (knee) was able to perform some range of motion exercises Saturday, June 15, but manager Davey Johnson said Harper had "a little puffiness" in his left knee. The skipper said the training staff isn't overly concerned, but Harper remains in a rest period.

Fantasy Tip: Harper is still a few days away from resuming baseball activities, so fantasy owners will want to keep him reserved until further notice. He might be able to play in minor-league rehab games sometime next week, so there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
