Steals first base of career Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Mets.

Impact The young backstop reached on a single in the first inning and promptly stole second base, an event New York catcher Tomas Nido likely didn't see coming considering Ruiz hadn't stolen a base at any level since he was a 16-year-old in the Dominican Summer League. Ruiz has five multi-hit performances in his last 10 starts, boosting his slash line on the season to .275/.309/.374 with one homer, seven runs and 10 RBI through 97 plate appearances.

Back after two-game respite Ruiz will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Ruiz was on the bench for the Nationals' last two games, but his absence from the lineup in Tuesday's 4-2 loss was likely just a byproduct of Washington's pitching schedule. Manager Dave Martinez wanted to keep Riley Adams in a battery with Patrick Corbin, who followed up an eight-inning effort May 4 in Colorado by blanking the Mets over five innings. Adams and Corbin should continue to work in a tandem moving forward, but Ruiz still profiles as the Nationals' clear No. 1 catcher and should pick up the lion's share of the work behind the dish.

Drives in three against Rockies Ruiz went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Rockies.

Impact The young catcher continues to find his groove at the plate. Over his last 11 games, Ruiz is slashing .324/.390/.405 with five multi-hit performances, and while he's still looking for his first homer of 2022, he's showing why he was a key piece of last year's Trea Turner-Max Scherzer deal with the Dodgers.

He's made a ton of contact this season, striking out in just 9.5 percent of his plate appearances, though his overall .267/.286/.333 slash line is unimpressive.
