Brad Lord - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Handed another start Friday Lord is slated to start Friday's game against the Marlins in Miami.

Impact Lord will make his third consecutive start, though he's covered just 2.2 innings and two-thirds of an inning in his prior two appearances. The Nationals are expected to once again deploy Lord as more of an opener, with lefty Will Dion profiling as the top candidate to pitch in bulk relief once Lord exits the game.

Drawing another start Lord is slated to start Saturday's game against the Mets at Citi Field, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact Lord will be making his second straight appearance as a starter, after he allowed one earned run while striking out four over 2.2 innings and 51 pitches in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Reds. After the Nationals designated Zack Littell and Miles Mikolas within the past two weeks to clear a pair of spots in the rotation, Lord looks as though he's being stretched out to fill one of the openings. Since Lord will be operating with a limited pitch count once again Saturday, the Nationals could turn to lefty Will Dion to piggyback him. In Lord's previous start, Dion tossed three shutout innings of long relief to earn his first MLB win.

Impact After completing a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester, Lord has been cleared to return to the big-league club. Before being sidelined, the 26-year-old posted a 5-2 record, 3.88 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 52:21 K:BB through 58 innings.

Starts up rehab assignment Lord (side) began a rehab assignment Saturday at Triple-A Rochester, striking out two batters over a perfect inning.

Impact Lord has been on the injured list since July 9 due to left side tightness, but he'll likely need just one or two more appearances in the minors before getting the green light to rejoin the Washington bullpen. Before getting hurt, the right reliever turned in a 3.88 ERA and 1.22 WHIP over 58 innings while gathering five wins, one save and four holds.

Facing hitters next week Lord (side) will throw a live batting practice session Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Shelved by side tightness The Nationals placed Lord on the 15-day injured list Thursday with left side tightness.

Impact Lord last pitched Sunday, when he was rocked for five runs over 1.1 innings. He could return when his 15 days are up or close to it if he is indeed merely dealing with tightness, but the Nationals could still need to send Lord for imaging to see if he has a strain.

Serving as opener Wednesday Lord will be the Nationals' opening pitcher in Wednesday's game versus the Red Sox, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact He'll take the ball first before eventually handing things off to Andrew Alvarez. Lord has been a starting pitcher in the past and has been used primarily in long relief this season, so he's capable of logging multiple innings Wednesday, if needed.
