That’s why it was Miguel Batista, and not the No. 1 overall pick from last year’s draft, delivering the first pitch Tuesday against Atlanta at Nationals Park. Strasburg was scratched from his scheduled start after experiencing shoulder stiffness while warming up in the bullpen. (Read More…)

Dunn is having another good season but has started cool off a little bit since the All-Star break.
Also, the Nationals finally seem to have conceded that they are officially out of the wild card race.
