| Team | Today’s Game (ET) | Pitching Matchup (’23 Stats at Level) |
| Rochester | @ Syracuse, 2:05 p.m. | TBD vs. TBD |
As of this writing it’s a balmy 36 degrees – beach weather for Alaska, but not so much for Syracuse, where the Rochester Red Wings will open the 2024 campaign. It’ll be 44 degrees at the 2:05 p.m. start per Accuweather, which is three degrees cooler than the outlook a year ago.
Unlike a year ago, the 2024 Opening Day Roster is in hand, and features eight current watchlist players:
| PITCHERS | CATCHER | INFIELDER | OUTFIELDERS |
| LHP DJ Herz | Drew Millas | Trey Lipscomb | Darren Baker |
| LHP Mitchell Parker | James Wood | ||
| RHP Jackson Rutledge | Jacob Young |
Former Nats prospects include Joan Adon, Tim Cate, Thad Ward, Amos Willingham, Jake Alu, and Carter Kieboom. Luis Reyes is back for his 11th season in the Washington organization. We’re back for our 14th season covering the Nationals minors (not counting 2020, natch).
