"The Nationals ace was put on the 15-Day IL a couple weeks ago with shoulder discomfort. As a precaution, Miguel Cairo decided that he should go on the IL. That is absolutely the right move as there in no season to risk further injury to your pitching ace. Nonetheless, MacKenzie Gore made his return to the Nationals on Thursday Night. The start went very solid, allowing just 2 Earned Runs over 5 Innings. He recorded 2 BBs and struckout four. His pitch total was 78, and all went quite well."
"Daylen Lile has been the prime example of what this team must continue to do. The star left-fielder is on an 11-Game Hit Streak right now. Of those 11 games, 8 have been of multiple hits. In this time, that batting average equates to .422 . His batting average since the All-Star break? How about .322. Daylen Lile is on his way to locking up the left-field job in 2026. He may have come up to the majors sooner than expected, but progress is progress, so kudos to him."
MacKenzie Gore returned from the 15-Day IL after shoulder discomfort and made a solid start, allowing two earned runs over five innings with two walks and four strikeouts on 78 pitches. The IL stint was a precaution to avoid further injury, and Gore is scheduled for just two more starts this season as the team shifts to a six-man rotation. Daylen Lile is on an 11-game hit streak, hitting .422 during that span and .322 since the All-Star break, positioning him to lock down left field in 2026. The Nationals have also been resting James Wood to manage workload and protect health while focusing on prospect development.
