Keibert Ruiz - Swats homer No. 10 Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Padres.

Impact The switch-hitting backstop took Walker Buehler deep to lead off the third inning and open the scoring, but the game quickly got away from the Nationals in an eventual 9-2 loss. Ruiz has been in a timeshare with Harry Ford since late August but has been by far the more productive hitter in that time -- over his last 10 games, Ruiz is batting .344 (11-for-32) with two of his 10 homers on the season.

Connelly Early - Next outing could come at Double-A Early (elbow) is tentatively set to pitch for Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Impact The southpaw threw 30 pitches in a Bridge League game Tuesday, so he could be targeting 40-50 during his appearance with Harrisburg. Early has yet to make his Nationals debut after being acquired from the Red Sox in July, but he may be able to join the big-league club before the end of the season if all goes well Sunday. Over 17 starts this year for Boston prior to being shut down with elbow inflammation, Early delivered a 3.44 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 93:34 K:BB through 91.2 innings.
