Swipes two bags in win Nunez went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Friday's 3-2 win over the Marlins.

Impact Nunez singled on a bunt in the second inning before swiping second and third base following a walk in the seventh. After a miserable April, the 25-year-old has gone a modest 5-for-16 with four RBI across seven May contests. He's slashing .218/.320/.245 with just two extra-base hits, 14 RBI and 16 runs scored across 131 plate appearances this season and now leads the majors with 16 steals.

Collects four RBI on Saturday Nunez went 2-for-4 with four RBI, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact The 25-year-old middle infielder established a season high in RBI and matched a career best in this area. However, Nunez is likely to remain strictly a fantasy streamer for stolen bases going forward -- he's slashing a pitiful .195/.298/.207 with one extra-base hit, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored over 96 plate appearances but does rank first in the major leagues with 12 steals.

Taking seat Wednesday Nunez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Jorbit Vivas will enter the starting nine at second base while Nunez receives a day off. Nunez had started in each of the Nationals' previous six games, going 2-for-19 with four walks, three stolen bases, four runs and one RBI.

APRIL 16 • Associated Press

Sitting Wednesday Nunez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Jorbit Vivas will fill in at second base for Nunez, who will head to the bench after a stretch of four consecutive starts. Nunez is batting just .212 with one extra-base hit over 58 plate appearances, but he's provided value for fantasy managers who have rostered him primarily for his speed (seven steals in eight attempts).

Keeps running Tuesday Nunez went 0-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Cardinals.

Impact The 25-year-old switch hitter continues to make an impact on the basepaths while seeing consistent playing time, going 7-for-7 on steal attempts in his first nine games of 2026. Nunez isn't doing much else, however, slashing .200/.282/.200 with three RBI and four runs while mainly hitting toward the bottom of the Nationals' lineup. While Washington seems comfortable with his defense at second base, Nunez may need to provide more overall offense to hang onto a starting job.

Swipes two more bags Sunday Nunez went 1-for-4 with a walk and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Getting the start at second base and batting second, Nunez upped his steal total on the season to five in five attempts through seven games. Sunday also marked the first time the 25-year-old had hit any higher than sixth in the order this year, as manager Blake Butera continues to mix and match his lineups. Nunez's speed is so far his only real selling point from a fantasy perspective, as he's batting .231 (6-for-26) with zero extra-base hits, two RBI and four runs scored.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Getting rest Saturday Nunez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact Nunez will get a breather after going 1-for-5 and scoring a run during Friday's blowout loss. Jorbit Vivas will fill in as Washington's second baseman and bat seventh.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Monday Nunez is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in Philadelphia.

Impact Nunez started all three games against the Cubs in the Nationals' first series of the season, but he'll begin Monday's festivities on the bench. Jorbit Vivas is handling second base and batting eighth for Washington.
