Since moving from Montreal to the nation’s capital for the 2005 season, the Washington Nationals have finished out of the NL East cellar just once in six seasons.
The Nationals hope to begin climbing up the ladder in the East this season. A 10-win improvement in 2010 followed back-to-back 59-victory seasons, and Washington hopes to move closer to .500 in 2011. (Read More…)

Stephen Strasburg’s road to returning to pitching begins Friday on the operating table.
Thirteen days after suffering a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament in his right pitching elbow, Strasburg will undergo surgery that will keep him out of action for the next 12 to 18 months. (Read More…)

It is the worst fears of the Washington Nationals come true: the MRI results of their top young pitcher are in, and it’s not good news.
Stephen Strasburg, who grabbed the attention of the baseball world with his 100 mph fastball and powerful changeup, will miss at least the next 12 months with a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. (Read More…)

The next two weeks? There will not be any starts from Stephen Strasburg for the Washington Nationals?
The rest of the phenom’s rookie season? That remains to be seen.
The top pick in last summer’s draft, Washington’s hot-shot rookie will go on the disabled list later this week after suffering a strained flexor tendon in his right forearm. (Read More…)

Whether or not Stephen Strasburg’s rookie season is over after 12 starts remains to be seen.
What can be said with certainty is the scene of the Washington Nationals’ rookie phenom shaking his pitching arm after a fifth-inning delivery, then walking off the field, was far from comforting. (Read More…)

The numbers from his last start out looked more like what we expect from Stephen Strasburg.
The Washington Nationals’ rookie sensation looked much sharper Sunday in his second start following his three-week stay on the disabled list for shoulder stiffness. Strasburg fanned seven hitting and did not walk a batter in five innings, allowing just one run while taking a no-decision in Washington’s 5-3 home victory over Arizona. (Read More…)

The Washington Nationals have experienced a huge bump in attention and buzz thanks to Stephen Strasburg. There was no way the Nats’ brass was going to take any chances with their rookie sensation.
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…)

With a 10-game road trip looming next week, it’s time for the Washington Nationals to get over their first real hiccup of their surprising 2010 season.
The Nats took the field in St. Louis on Monday riding a three-game losing streak that at least dampened a bit of the hot start Washington rode to a 20-15 record. The Nats moved five games above .500 with a 14-6 rout of Colorado on Thursday in Denver. But after a postponement, the Nats lost three straight to the Rockies, the last two coming by one run.
The mini-skid dropped Washington into a second-place tie with Florida in the National League East. Still, the Nats are just two games behind first-place Philadelphia, and Memorial Day is two weeks ago.
How Washington fares these next two weeks probably will determine just how serious this team is about playing meaningful baseball into the first days of summer. The Nats play two in St. Louis, then head home for five games that look winnable: two against the floundering Mets (who were swept by the Marlins this weekend) and three against woeful Baltimore.
Then the Nats hit the road for a big challenge: a 10-day, three city road trip that will take Washington to San Francisco for three, to San Diego for three against the equally surprising Padres, and four at Houston.
