Erick Fedde - Completes another bullpen session Fedde (shoulder) threw another bullpen session Saturday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact The side session consisted of roughly 40 pitches. When Fedde hit the IL, manager Dave Martinez suggested he wasn't too concerned about the injury. It seems Fedde, who sits with a 4.95 ERA and 1.54 WHIP this season, will end up missing more than 15 days, though perhaps he won't miss too much more than the minimum if he continues to progress in the right direction.

MacKenzie Gore - Begins throwing next week Gore (elbow) will begin playing catch at Nationals Park next Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Part of the blockbuster Juan Soto trade, Gore finished his time in San Diego on the injured list with a sore elbow. The lefty showed flashes prior to hitting the shelf, posting a 2.50 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over his first 10 starts in the big leagues. Gore was a big-time prospect and the Nationals will likely take it slow with his recovery in hopes of getting him back to that early-season form.

Luis García - Not in Saturday's lineup Garcia is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Impact It's a bit odd to see Garcia sitting given the run he's been on, collecting multiple hits in four of his last five games. The 22-year-old has a 1.016 OPS in his last 10 games. There has not been any word of an injury to this point, so perhaps the team just felt Garcia could use a day off. Ildemaro Vargas starts at shortstop.

Keibert Ruiz - Takes seat Saturday Ruiz is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Tres Barrera will step in behind the plate to catch for starter Patrick Corbin. Ruiz has not lived up to expectations this season -- his first full season in the Nationals organization -- after coming over from the Dodgers in the Trea Turner-Max Scherzer deal. However, the Nationals have completely torn it down, and they have every incentive to play Ruiz as much as he can handle down the stretch.

Nelson Cruz - Returns to lineup Cruz (neck) is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Neck stiffness cost Cruz a few starts, but he will return to the cleanup spot to face left-hander Ranger Suarez. Now 42 years old, Cruz's numbers have taken a dramatic turn for the worse. He's batting just .229/.333/.358 with the platoon edge this season.

Josiah Gray - Ambushed by Phillies Gray (7-8) took the loss Friday as the Nationals were downed 7-2 by the Phillies, surrendering six runs on five hits -- including four home runs -- and three walks over four inning...

Impact Three of the long balls came in the first inning before J.T. Realmuto capped the barrage in the third with a two-run shot. Gray got the hook after 79 pitches (46 strikes) having served up multiple homers for the fourth time in his last five trips to the mound, a gruesome stretch in which he's compiled a 7.20 ERA and 1.44 WHIP despite a superficially successful 34:11 K:BB through 25 innings. Gray now has a 2.4 HR/9 for his big-league career, and the 24-year-old will never come close to reaching his full potential without first solving his homer woes.

Tyler Clippard - Begins rehab assignment Clippard (groin) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Clippard was called up for the first time this season July 13 and hit the injured list the next day after making just one appearance. He may not need a particularly long rehab assignment, but there's no guarantee he fills a significant role in the big-league bullpen once healthy.

Maikel Franco - Steps out of lineup Franco is not in the lineup Friday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Blanco of MASN Nationals reports.

Impact Franco is 3-for-27 with a run and a stolen base since the All-Star break and will head to the bench Friday for the second time in the past three games. Ildemaro Vargas will start at the hot corner and could see more consistent playing time going forward given Franco's struggles.
