GAME LOG
Joe La Sorsa - Optioned to Triple-A The Nationals optioned La Sorsa to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Impact La Sorsa was lit up for four runs on six hits and two walks over two innings during his last appearance Wednesday against the Reds. As a result, he'll head back to the minors in order to right the ship. Joan Adon was promoted to Washington in a corresponding move.

Joan Adon - Recalled from Rochester The Nationals recalled Adon from Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Adon hasn't been spectacular in Triple-A with a 4.81 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 76.2 innings, but he'll be called upon to bolster Washington's pitching staff. Adon has been used almost exclusively as a starter throughout his career, though it's unclear whether or not the Nationals plan on using him in a multi-inning relief role. Joe La Sorsa was optioned to Rochester in a corresponding move.

2023 MLB mock draft 2.0: Shakeup at top between LSU duo Paul Skenes, Dylan Crews
Riley Adams - Three hits in Thursday's loss Adams went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.
Impact It's the second three-hit effort in Adams' last five starts, although that period stretches back to June 22 and he went 0-for-11 in between the two big performances. The 27-year-old catcher is slashing .282/.346/.535 on the season with 10 of his 20 hits going for extra bases (five doubles, two triples and three homers) while seeing inconsistent playing time behind Keibert Ruiz.
JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
CJ Abrams - Swipes two bags against Cincy Abrams went 0-for-4 with a run scored and two stolen bases in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.
Impact After reaching on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning, Abrams stole second and third before trotting home on a Lane Thomas single. Abrams is beginning to flash the upside that made him the sixth overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, slashing .314/.375/.510 over his last 15 games with 10 runs scored and five of his 11 steals on the year.
JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Lane Thomas - Drives in three in loss Thomas went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Thursday's extra-inning loss to the Reds.
Impact The All-Star snub got the Nationals on the board with a two-run single in the fifth inning before adding another RBI in the 10th. Thomas has eight multi-hit performances in his last 12 games. slashing an eye-popping .392/.429/.588 over that stretch with two homers, four doubles, eight runs and 11 RBI.
JULY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Call - Homers, scores three times in loss Call went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three runs scored and one stolen base in Thursday's loss to Cincinnati.
Impact Call walked in each of his first two trips to the plate and came around to score on a Lane Thomas single in the fifth, after stealing second. He then launched a solo homer in the seventh to put the Nationals on top 3-2 and later came around to score a third time in the 10th as Washington fell short at home to the Reds. It was the center fielder's first home run since May 4 and he's now registered a hit in each of his first two games since being recalled.

Perspective | Dave Martinez's grand experiment: Force the Nats' young core to hit The Washington Nationals are good at pinch hitting. They rarely do it. Why is that?
JULY 7, 2023 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
MacKenzie Gore - Start interrupted by rain Gore did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings against the Reds while striking out one.
Impact Gore only made it into the second inning before the game was delayed nearly two due to rain. He then retreated to the dugout after being relieved by Mason Thompson when the game resumed. The 24-year-old lefty made it through the first inning on just eight pitches before allowing a single to Elly De La Cruz to open the second. Unfortunately his day would end there as he's now been unable to make it through three innings in either of his last two starts, with the latter coming at no fault of his own. Gore will look to get back on track in his next start, presumably at some point just after the All-Star break.
