How to Watch Nationals vs. Rockies: TV Channel & Live Stream - August 21
CJ Abrams - Homers in loss Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rockies.
Impact Abrams provided the Nationals' only offense when he took Austin Gomber deep in the bottom of the sixth inning. The shortstop has gone just 7-for-34 over his past 10 games but has tallied a homer and three steals in his most recent two.

DJ Herz - Strikes out seven in loss Herz (2-6) took the loss against the Rockies on Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks with seven strikeouts across 5.2 innings.
Impact Herz generated a solid 13 whiffs on 93 pitches but departed an out shy of his second straight quality start. While he only has one win to show for it, the rookie has yielded two earned runs or fewer in seven of his past eight outings. On the year, he owns a 4.15 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 75:21 K:BB across 60.2 innings and tentatively lines up to face Atlanta on Sunday.

Nationals vs. Rockies Prediction, Odds, Picks - August 21
Tyler Stuart - Moves up to Triple-A The Nationals promoted Stuart from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Impact Stuart will join the Triple-A rotation as a replacement for Brad Lord (hand), who was placed on the 7-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old right-hander earned the bump to Rochester based on merit, as he had logged a 2.08 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 21.2 innings over his four starts with Harrisburg since joining the Washington organization after being acquired from the Mets at he trade deadline.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Derek Law - MRI comes back clean The MRI on Law's right elbow came back clean Tuesday, revealing only ulnar nerve irritation, but he hasn't been cleared to throw yet, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Law was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a strained right elbow, and Tuesday's MRI confirmed that Law wasn't dealing with any structural damage. The 33-year-old took part in fielding drills Tuesday but hasn't been cleared to throw. A timeline for his return hasn't been announced.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Keibert Ruiz - Getting day off Ruiz is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact It looks to be a routine day off for Ruiz. Riley Adams will get the start versus lefty Austin Gomber, marking the second time in as many games that he's been in there against a southpaw.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Orlando Ribalta - Moved back to Rochester The Nationals optioned Ribalta to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Impact Ribalta appeared in two games and logged a 13.50 ERA across two innings during his first MLB stint. The 26-year-old will yield his spot on the 26-man roster to Robert Garcia, who returns from the bereavement list Tuesday. Ribalta has a 3.62 ERA and 35 strikeouts in 27.1 innings for Triple-A Rochester this season.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Robert Garcia - Back from bereavement list The Nationals reinstated Garcia (personal) from the bereavement list Tuesday.
Impact The left-hander spent the past few games on the bereavement list but is back with the Nationals ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Rockies. Garcia has 11 holds with a 4.80 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 58:16 K:BB across 45 innings this season.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Travis Blankenhorn - Sent down to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Blankenhorn to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Impact Blankenhorn's playing time had been trending downward throughout August, and he'll give up his spot on the 26-man roster to Joey Gallo (hamstring, who was activated from the injured list Tuesday. Blankenhorn posted a meager .317 OPS in 32 plate appearances for the Nationals but is slashing .246/.328/.518 with Rochester.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Joey Gallo - Activated from IL The Nationals reinstated Gallo (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
Impact Gallo has been on the shelf since June 12 due to a strained left hamstring, but he'll rejoin the active roster Monday at the expense of Travis Blankenhorn. With younger players like Alex Call, Juan Yepez and Andres Chaparro playing well, Gallo probably won't be the everyday player he was prior to the injury. Still, he could mix in at right field, first base or DH as needed.
AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Travis Sykora - Wrapping up breakout campaign Sykora has a 2.51 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 101:22 K:BB through 16 starts (68 innings) for Single-A Frederickburg.
Impact The right-hander, a third-round pick out of a Texas high school in the 2023 Draft, didn't turn 20 years until late April, but he's been utterly dominant in his first pro campaign. Sykora has combined a fastball that sits 95-97 mph with a rapidly improving slider and splitter, and he's gotten stronger as the season has progressed -- he fired six perfect innings with 10 strikeouts against Carolina on Aug. 9, the first time in his career he'd worked more than five frames in a start. The Nationals won't push him up the ladder too quickly given his age, but a 2026 big-league debut isn't off the table if he continues developing at his current pace.

Nationals vs. Rockies Prediction, Odds, Picks - August 20
Alex Call - 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
James Wood - Slugs fifth homer Wood went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
Impact The 21-year-old rookie continues to make life miserable for opposing pitchers, with his fifth long ball of the season coming off Jeff Hoffman in the ninth inning. Over his last 21 games, Wood is slashing a stunning .373/.472/.640 with 11 extra-base hits (five doubles, three triples, three homers), four steals, 15 RBI and 18 runs.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Keibert Ruiz - Belts 12th homer Ruiz went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
Impact The catcher got the Nationals on the board in the fourth inning by driving a Taijuan Walker pitch deep to right field. Ruiz is putting together a strong month of August, slashing .283/.321/.547 through 14 games with four of his 12 homers on the season, as well as eight runs and nine RBI.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
CJ Abrams - Swipes three bags Abrams went 2-for-4 with a walk and three stolen bases in Sunday's win against the Phillies.
Impact Abrams wreaked havoc on the basepaths, swiping three bases in a game for the third time this season. The 23-year-old entered Sunday's contest mired in an 0-14 slump with five strikeouts over his past four games, part of a rough August in which he has batted .189 with four extra-base hits and five stolen bases in 15 games. The young shortstop has put together a well-rounded season despite his recent struggles, batting .248 with 17 home runs, 59 RBI, 71 runs scored and 25 steals in 115 games played.
AUGUST 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Finnegan - Collects 31st save Finnegan pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his 31st save of the season Sunday against the Phillies, allowing one hit with zero strikeouts.
Impact Finnegan allowed a lead-off single to Edmundo Sosa but he quickly put an end to the scare, inducing a double play and a groundout to secure his 31st save of the season, good for third in MLB. The 32-year-old has been shaky since the All-Star break, logging an unsightly 8.38 ERA, 2.07 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB in 9.2 innings. Despite the rough patch, Finnegan has converted all six save chances during that span and is now 31-for-35 in save opportunities this season.
