Alex Call - Page 7 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Sitting out Friday Call is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami.

Impact Call had started the last five games and seven of the last eight contests, but he will begin Friday's series opener on the bench. Dylan Crews will play right field and Jacob Young will patrol center field for the Nationals.

Emerging as regular right fielder Call will start in right field and bat second in Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact It marks the fifth start over the last five games for Call and his highest placement in the batting order this season. He's earned the playing time by sporting a robust 1.279 OPS in the early going for the Nationals. With Call's emergence as a regular for Washington, Dylan Crews has become the team's primary center fielder and Jacob Young has been a reserve.

Swipes first bag in win Call went 2-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Call delivered RBI singles in the first and fourth innings and also swiped his first bag of the season. The 30-year-old has gone 4-for-8 in three starts to open the year but is strictly a bench option for the Nationals at the moment.

Swipes first bag in win Call went 2-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact Call delivered RBI singles in the first and fourth innings and also swiped his first bag of the season. The 30-year-old has gone 4-for-8 in three starts to open the year and is seeing inconsistent playing time as Washington's No. 4 outfielder.

APRIL 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Set for bench role Call is expected to begin the season as the Nationals' fourth outfielder, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 30-year-old may not see much work however, with Dylan Crews, Jacob Young and James Wood entrenched in the starting lineup and all 25 years of age or younger. Call solidified his spot on the Opening Day roster by batting .333 (13-for-39) this spring with 12 walks against only five strikeouts, but his .231/.332/.364 career slash line in the majors better reflects his lack of fantasy upside should he find himself getting consistent playing time.

Nearing rehab assignment Manager Dave Martinez said Tuesday that Call (foot) will embark on a rehab assignment soon in hopes of returning before the end of the regular season, Andrew Golden of The Washingt...

Impact The 29-year-old landed on the injured list in late August due to a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot, and he's now on the cusp of returning to game action. Call has been productive when up with the Nationals this season with a .343/.425/.525 slash line in 30 games, and a healthy finish to the campaign would set him up for a normal offseason heading into 2025.

AUGUST 24, 2024 • KANSASCITY.COM

Placed on 10-day IL The Nationals placed Call on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a partial tear of the plantar fascia in his left foot.

Impact Call was carted off the field in Friday's game against Atlanta falling to the ground while pursuing a fly ball. More tests are needed, but given the nature of the injury, the Nationals could elect to hold Call out for the remainder of the season. It's a brutal blow for the 29-year-old, who was slashing .343/.425/.525 with five stolen bases, nine doubles, three home runs and 14 RBI across 113 plate appearances this season. Dylan Crews is slated to be called up Monday, but in the interim, Drew Millas was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to take the Call's spot on the 26-man roster for the weekend.

Carted off field Call fell to the ground pursuing a fly ball during Friday's game against Atlanta and was carted off the field, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact While the specifics of the injury are unknown at this point, it's certainly not a good sign that Call required a cart to exit the field. The right fielder attempted to walk off under his own power but was unable to do so. With Dylan Crews already set to join the big-league roster Monday, Call's injury may have created an immediate opening in the starting nine for the top prospect to fill.

Carted off field Call fell to the ground pursuing a fly ball during Friday's game against Atlanta and was carted off the field, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact While the specifics of the injury are unknown at this point, it's certainly not a good sign that Call required a cart to exit the field of play. The right fielder attempted to walk off the field but couldn't. Call went down without making contact with another player or the ball. He flew out to left in his lone at-bat prior to exiting.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard again Sunday Call went 1-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Impact The 29-year-old outfielder has three homers in 99 big-league plate appearances this year, and two of them came in back-to-back games this weekend. Call has cooled down a bit since he reeled off six straight multi-hit performances earlier this month, going just 5-for-25 (.200) since with a 1:6 BB:K, but four of those knocks have gone for extra bases.

AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swats second homer Call went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Phillies.

Impact His fourth-inning long ball off Cristopher Sanchez was one of only two hits for the Nationals on the night. Call has been impressive since his late-July promotion and ascension into a starting role following the Lane Thomas trade, slashing .373/.425/.567 over his last 18 games with two homers, three steals, six runs and 12 RBI, but there's nothing in the 29-year-old's track record to suggest he'll keep it up for much longer. Dylan Crews is also slashing .300/.396/.600 over his last 10 games for Triple-A Rochester, and a promotion for the top prospect could bump Call to the bench.

Alex Call's RBI single lifts Nationals to 3-2 victory over Angels in 10 innings

Alex Call hit a game-winning single in the 10th inning, and the Washington Nationals defeated the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 in the opener of a three-game series

AUGUST 10, 2024 • Associated Press

Drawing third straight start Call will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Call will pick up his third consecutive start, this time occupying center field after his previous two starts came in right field. He's gone 3-for-5 with a home run, three walks and three RBI in the first two games in Arizona, and Call should have a clear runway to handle a regular role in the outfield so long as he keeps producing at the dish.

JULY 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Clubs homer in win Call went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Call got the start in right field following the trades of Jesse Winker and Lane Thomas over the last few days. The outfielder previously went 5-for-16 (.313) over his first seven games of the season, but he was sent down to Triple-A Rochester in early May. He'll have a chance to carve out a starting role, though it's expected Call will have to compete with Travis Blankenhorn -- who is expected to be recalled from Rochester on Tuesday -- for playing time in right field. Top prospect Dylan Crews will also likely be called up at some point in the second half, further crowding the Nationals' outfield.

Gets first shot in right field Call will start in right field and bat sixth Monday versus the Diamondbacks, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Call will get the first opportunity to replace Lane Thomas in right field after Thomas was traded to the Guardians on Monday. The Nationals had just recalled Call from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday after Jesse Winker was traded to the Mets.

Recalled by Washington The Nationals recalled Call from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

Impact Call will take the vacated spot on the 26-man roster left by Jesse Winker, who was traded to the Mets on Saturday. In Triple-A this season, Call is slashing .222/.362/.413 with 13 stolen bases, 11 home runs and 50 RBI over 312 plate appearances.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits homer in rare start Call went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss against Atlanta.

Impact Call accounted for the first Washington run with his 364-foot solo shot off Max Fried in the third inning. The 28-year-old has only started five games for the Nationals in September has he splits time in left field with Jake Alu and Blake Rutherford. Call is slashing .199/.306/.307 with eight homers and nine stolen bases over 126 games.

Losing work to Jacob Young Call is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com

Impact Call will take a seat for the third time in four games and seems to have moved back into a fourth-outfielder role after briefly recapturing a regular spot in the wake of Stone Garrett's season-ending fibula injury. Rookie Jacob Young will stick in the lineup for the fourth consecutive contest and appears to have displaced Call as the Nationals' preferred center fielder.

AUGUST 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On bench Tuesday Call is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Jacob Young will start in center field and bat ninth for the visiting Nationals. Call went 0-for-2 with a walk in Monday's series opener and is slashing just .202/.305/.305 across 110 games (409 plate appearances) this season.
