Impact Ford reportedly injured his hand during his final at-bat in the sixth inning, and he was lifted for a pinch hitter in the ninth. The Nationals have sent the 23-year-old for imaging to determine the severity of his injury, and an update on his status should come before Saturday's game.

Impact He took Patrick Monteverde deep to lead off the seventh inning, Ford's third homer in 23 big-league games this season. While he's flashing some power, Ford isn't doing much else at the plate. Through 48 plate appearances in August, he's compiled a .209/.292/.442 slash line with four doubles, two home runs, four RBI and seven runs.

Finding groove at plate Ford went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Cubs.

Impact The 23-year-old backstop is taking advantage of a stretch in which the Nationals have seen plenty of left-handed pitching, including Chicago's David Peterson on Wednesday. Ford has started five of the last eight games, and over that span he's batting .300 (6-for-20) with four doubles, a homer, three RBI and six runs. Keibert Ruiz remains at the top of the depth chart, but Ford could muscle his way into something more like a timeshare, rather than being stuck on the short side of a platoon, if he keeps producing when he gets an opportunity.

Posts first career steal Ford went 1-for-3 with a double, a hit-by-pitch, one RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Athletics.

Impact Ford was in the lineup for the second time in three games coming out of the All-Star break. The catcher has gone 3-for-8 with two extra-base hits and four RBI in those contests and looks to be in position to challenge Keibert Ruiz for playing time, particularly against left-handed pitchers. If Ford can hit well, he could also be in the mix for time as the designated hitter.

Belts first career homer Ford went 2-for-5 with a walk, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's rout of the A's.

Impact In his ninth career MLB game and his Nationals debut, Ford took Justin Sterner deep for a two-run homer in the fifth inning, giving the 23-year-old backstop his first career long ball. Ford wasn't exactly lighting it up at Triple-A Rochester prior to his promotion, managing a .705 OPS and four home runs in 58 games, and he could be limited to a short-side platoon role while working behind Keibert Ruiz.

Ford was acquired from the Mariners last winter and has slashed .223/.370/.335 with four homers, 22 RBI, 34 runs scored and a 45:65 BB:K across 257 plate appearances at Rochester. The 23-year-old was the 12th overall pick in the 2021 Draft.
