Overview

  • Washington promoted third baseman Brady House and outfielder Daylen Lile from Triple-A Rochester on June 16 in response to an eight-game losing streak.
  • House, the organization’s No. 3 prospect, went 0-for-3 with a strikeout and a walk in his major league debut during Monday’s ninth straight loss.
  • The team has scored just 31 runs in June, the fewest of any MLB club, underscoring its offensive woes.
  • Opening Day third baseman Paul DeJong has been sidelined since mid-April after being hit in the face by a fastball, leaving a gap at the hot corner.
  • To clear roster space, the Nationals optioned Robert Hassell III and José Tena to Rochester and designated Juan Yepez for assignment.
