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.

Josh Palacios - Heads to bench Friday Palacios is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Blanco of MASN Nationals reports.
Impact Palacios started the last three games after being promoted Tuesday and will take a seat Friday after going 2-for-10 with a run and three strikeouts. Lane Thomas will start in right field and bat sixth.

Nelson Cruz - Still sitting Friday Cruz (neck) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies, Bobby Blanco of MASN Nationals reports.

Maikel Franco - Collects first steal of season Franco went 1-for-2 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Phillies.
Impact The 29-year-old stayed right on schedule in the stolen base department -- Franco's never swiped more than one bag in a season, but he's recorded that one steal in every even-numbered year since 2016 while skipping the odd-numbered years in between. His .598 OPS is the worst mark of his career, however, and he's found himself on the bench for five of the last 11 games as a result. As the Nationals add more young infielders like CJ Abrams to the roster down the stretch, Franco's playing time could dwindle even further.

Lane Thomas - Steals third bag Thomas went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Phillies.
Impact Getting the start in left field and batting sixth against right-hander Noah Syndergaard, Thomas swiped his third bag of the season before rain ended the game in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old will likely split time with Yadiel Hernandez in left field down the stretch as the Nationals give youngsters like Josh Palacios a long look, but it doesn't appear as though Thomas will be stuck on the short side of a platoon. Through 92 games this season, he's slashing .235/.287/.298 -- numbers right in line with his career performance -- with 10 homers, 35 runs and 35 RBI.
AUGUST 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Paolo Espino - Serves up two homers Espino (0-4) allowed five earned runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three across four innings to take the loss Thursday against the Phillies.
Impact Espino surrendered a pair of home runs to account for four of his five earned runs in the rain-shortened contest. Out of 10 starts this season, Espino has allowed at least one home run eight times and multiple long balls on five occasions. In that same span, he has a 5.52 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 33:9 K:BB across 44 innings.
