The FCL Nationals fell to .500 with a 1-0 loss to their co-tenants in West Palm Beach. Working on 67 days rest, Jacob Weaver walked two and struck out two on 22 pitches, eight for strikes in his second career appearance. Juan Lopez gave up the sole run on a solo HR and three hits total over four and a 1/3rd innings. He walked three and struck out seven. The F-Nats bats blasted the F-Astros for a double and four singles, none of which came with runners in scoring position. Roster moves: RHP Cesar Rojas assigned from Fredericksburg for MLB Rehab.
TRANSACTION UPDATE
Officially, none. Unofficially, multiple sources are reporting that Harry Ford will be called up to replace Drew Millas on the Washington roster starting tomorrow. FWIW, whoever gets the call and plays for the big club will be just the 17th position player to make an appearance – vs. 27 pitchers, which will soon be 28 with the addition of Max Kranick to the ‘pen, presuming he doesn’t blow out his elbow during warmups.
I knew they shouldn’t have rushed Weaver back.
hard to fathom less than a week remains for the FCL.
Wow . That’s a short season
XST is the back fields work place for any guys signing from 2026 draft .
Unless FRED Nats could use some guys for repetitions
It’s roughly the same number of games for the FCL but they start in May now vs. mid-to-late June in the “before times.” With the draft moved from June to July, you can count the number of same-year draft picks on your digits and still keep your shoes on.
It’s not a coincidence that so many college juniors are now being drafted — if they don’t start playing until the following May, there’s not much difference than a college senior who was picked in June and started playing by early July.
Let’s see if young turks will get an electronic wire transfer from PNC or a body from Bradenton ?
They give you money which is just as good as cash
