"On Sunday, the Washington Nationals continued to play their frustrating brand of baseball that has unfortunately become a staple of their 2025 season. While the team has been dealt frustrating hands such as numerous injuries and a prolonged slump from their best player in James Wood, the wins have not been coming in as frequently as you would like to see at this point."
"Combine Gore's inconsistent second half with the fact that Jake Irvin and Mitchell Parker have barely pitched at a big league level for the better part of multiple months now, and it's very clear to see why the Nationals have struggled to win games."
"However, with the calendar finally turning to September, the Nationals finally have some reinforcements headed to join the big league club for the stretch run. On Monday against the Miami Marlins, the Nationals will send lefty Andrew Alvarez to the mound for his big league debut, and he is one of 2 September call-ups for the 2025 season."
The Washington Nationals have struggled through a 2025 season marked by injuries, slumps and inconsistent pitching that have limited wins. All-Star lefty MacKenzie Gore was placed on the 15-day Injured List with left shoulder inflammation after noticeable second-half inconsistency and heavy trade speculation. Other rotation options like Jake Irvin and Mitchell Parker have barely pitched effectively at the big league level for months. September brings reinforcements as the Nationals called up lefty Andrew Alvarez, a 2021 12th-round pick who posted a 3-7 record, 4.10 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 25 starts for AAA Rochester, and will replace Gore in the rotation.
