Michael Soroka makes his return to the Nationals' rotation following a stint on the injured list due to bicep tightness sustained after his only start this season. In his debut, he struggled against the Blue Jays, yielding four runs. In a move to facilitate Soroka's comeback, Eduardo Salazar was sent to Triple-A. The Nationals have also faced challenges with their bullpen, now rated the worst in MLB with a 7.16 ERA. Manager Dave Martinez plans to shift Brad Lord to the bullpen after a taxing performance, while the overall team performance remains inconsistent, particularly highlighting Josh Bell's struggles.
"I think at this particular moment, we'll probably push [Brad Lord] back to the bullpen. Kind of give him a breather, and then we'll see what happens in the next couple weeks." - manager Dave Martinez said.
The Nats bullpen retook the crown as the worst bullpen as they leapfrogged the Angels to take over last place with a 7.16 ERA.
On defense, the stats are starting to give you an idea of what this defense is all about. Paul DeJong is your OAA leader.
Josh Bell has fallen to a -0.8 at this point and the worst on the team. The team is 4-2 when Bell doesn't start a game.
