Yadiel Hernandez - Late addition to lineup Hernandez will start in left field and bat eighth Tuesday against the Phillies.

Impact The 34-year-old was originally absent from Tuesday's lineup but was added to the starting nine just before first pitch after Nelson Cruz (undisclosed) was scratched. Hernandez had a .638 OPS over 20 games in June, and he's 0-for-7 through his first three contests of July.

Nelson Cruz - Late scratch Tuesday Cruz was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Phillies for undisclosed reasons, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Cruz was penciled in to bat third as the designated hitter, but he was absent from the revised lineup that Washington released just before first pitch. Yadiel Hernandez was original set to sit Tuesday but will instead start in left field.

Ehire Adrianza - Picks up start in outfield Adrianza will start in left field and bat eighth in Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact He'll stick in the lineup for the third game in a row, with all of his starts coming at different positions. Adrianza, who went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run in Monday's 3-2 loss, will be replacing Yadiel Hernandez in the outfield Tuesday.

Yadiel Hernandez - Not starting Tuesday Hernandez is on the bench Tuesday versus the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Unsurprisingly, Hernandez takes a seat as the Nationals face a lefty starting pitcher. Switch-hitting Ehire Adrianza will start the game in left field, but Hernandez could enter once the Phillies get into their bullpen.

Juan Soto - Out again Tuesday Soto (calf) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Philadelphia, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Soto will be on the bench for the second straight game while he recovers from the left calf injury, though the fact that he was able to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Monday's 3-2 loss bodes well for his chances of avoiding a trip to the injured list. The Nationals will run out an outfield of Ehire Adrianza, Victor Robles and Lane Thomas in Tuesday's contest.

Patrick Corbin - Delivers another impressive start Corbin allowed one run on eight hits and one walk while striking out four across seven innings Monday against the Marlins. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Corbin surrendered his only run of the day in the top of the third inning on an RBI single to left field, and he would exit without an opportunity to earn the win despite turning in yet another strong performance. Corbin has given up just two runs over his last two starts, fanning 16 and walking three over that stretch (15 innings).

Cade Cavalli - Back in action at Triple-A Cavalli (arm) rejoined the Triple-A Rochester rotation Wednesday and struck out five over three innings while allowing three earned runs on three hits and two walks in his return t...

Impact Cavalli was back in action after a two-week layoff that was imposed mostly for workload-management reasons rather than as a result of the minor arm soreness he experienced coming out of his June 16 outing. The right-hander wasn't particularly sharp in Wednesday's start -- he tossed only 45 of his 77 pitches for strikes, hit two batters and threw a wild pitch -- but all indications are that he came out of the appearance feeling fine physically. The 23-year-old now sports a 5.07 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 61:27 K:BB across 60.1 innings in his 13 starts with Rochester this season.

Evan Lee - Prepping for rehab assignment Lee (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at the Nationals' spring training site in West Palm Beach, Fla. this week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact While he's on the rehab assignment, the Nationals will likely have Lee build up as a potential starting option for the big club, so he'll presumably need at least a couple weeks to get stretched out before he's activated from the 15-day injured list. Prior to being placed on the IL on June 18 with a left flexor strain, Lee posted a 4.15 ERA and 1.85 WHIP in 8.2 innings across his four appearances (one start) with Washington.

Víctor Arano - Cleared for rehab assignment Arano (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at the Nationals' spring training site in West Palm Beach, Fla. this week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Arano has been sidelined since June 6 with a bone bruise and inflammation in his left knee. Before sustaining the injury, he had been one of the Nationals' more reliable setup options, pitching to a 5.01 ERA (2.73 FIP) and 1.20 WHIP while gathering four holds and one save across 23.1 innings. Assuming he endures no setbacks in his recovery from the knee injury during his rehab assignment, Arano could have a chance at making it back from the 15-day injured list in the final week before the All-Star break.

Jordan Weems - Recalled by Washington Weems was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Monday.

Impact Weems joined the Nationals' bullpen in late May but was sent back down after he posted a 9.95 ERA and 2.21 WHIP in 6.1 innings over six appearances. The right-hander will return to the majors after Jackson Tetreault (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Weems should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations.

Jackson Tetreault - Placed on injured list Tetreault was placed on the 15-day injured list with a stress fracture of his right scapula Monday, retroactive to July 3.

Impact Although Tetreault's move to the injured list can be backdated by a day, he won't be eligible to return until at least after the All-Star break. The issue has apparently been lingering for some time, but he struggled to lift his arm during Saturday's start against Miami, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return or who will take his place in the rotation.

Keibert Ruiz - On bench Monday Ruiz isn't starting Monday's game against the Marlins.

Impact Ruiz is getting a day off after he went 0-for-2 with a walk in Sunday's extra-inning loss to Miami. Tres Barrera will start behind the dish and bat eighth.

César Hernández - Not in Monday's lineup Hernandez isn't starting Monday against the Marlins.

Juan Soto - Not starting Monday Soto (calf) isn't starting Monday's game against Miami.

Impact Soto underwent an MRI that came back clean after he exited Sunday's matchup against Miami, but he said Monday that he's still feeling a little tight. He's considered day-to-day for now, but Lane Thomas will shift to right field while Victor Robles starts in center.
