Well, the other shoe has dropped: Trey Lipscomb was reassigned to minor-league camp following yesterday’s dress rehearsal for the home opener.
All that remains now is to await the reveal of the finalized AAA roster, which I’m expecting around noon on Friday. Reminder: The current Red Wings roster online is about as accurate as a Trump campaign financial disclosure (OK, maybe not that bad).
With Opening Day slated for Thursday, the Nats made another set of moves yesterday: OPTIONED ● C Drew Millas ● OF Jacob Young ● OF Alex Call ADDED TO 40-MAN ● OF Jesse Winker ● OF Eddie Rosario ● RHP Matt Barnes ADDED TO 60-DAY I.L. ● RHP Mason Thompson ● RHP Jose Ferrer As …

Joining the “Other Big Three” were: OF Robert Hassell C Israel Pineda LHPs Richard Bleier, Joe LaSorsa 1B Juan Yepez While some have expressed surprise at …
Still here, just waiting for the regular season to start.
Meanwhile, yesterday we got an idea as to who we probably won’t see north of Florida anytime soon (60-Day I.L. unless otherwise specified):
As noted previously, since the MLB doup d’état, transaction information seems to be flowing faster and more freely. It’s almost as if there were something else influencing these decisions.
Following today’s 9-8 win vs. the Mets, the Nats announced six more cuts to the major-league camp:
OPTIONED TO ROCHESTER
• RHP Jackson Rutledge
REASSIGNED TO MINOR-LEAGUE CAMP
• 2B/OF Darren Baker
• C Brady Lindsly
• 1B Lewin Diaz
• RHP Luis Perdomo
• RHP Robert Gsellman
The moves reduce the number of healthy players to 39—per Mark Zuckerman—with seven games left in Florida before the team heads north to play a dress rehearsal for Opening Day majors-minors exhibition on the 26th.
In between the endless prattling from the SNY broadcasters, former college coaches, sideline reporters, and the Mets front office, there was a game yesterday afternoon in which the Mets’ top prospects beat their Nationals counterparts, 4-2. As was feared/loathed in comments, the Nats trotted out seven pitchers over seven innings. Jackson Rutledge was the first …
The Nats rallied for three with two out in the 5th and held on for a 5-3 win over the Astros. There were no watchlisters in the starting lineup and, as usual, no watchlist pitchers appeared in the game. Here’s how “our guys” did coming off the bench… Trey Lipscomb subbed for CJ Abrams at …
After losing a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 7th, the Nats responded in the top of the 8th with a double, single, and a fielder’s choice to reclaim the lead at 2-1, which the bullpen held for Washington’s fourth straight ST win. Four watchlist players were in the starting lineup and played the …
