Overview

• Washington hosts Chicago to begin the season-ending set at Nationals Park, with the Nationals at 65-94 and the White Sox at 58-101.
• Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli makes his 10th start since returning from injury in August after working five scoreless innings in his last outing against the Mets.
• Chicago starts Yoendrys Gomez, a May waiver claim from the Dodgers who is lined up for his ninth start since an August call-up from Triple-A Charlotte.
• Gomez has yielded 10 earned runs in 20 1/3 September innings but has issued only three walks across his past four starts.
• Washington is set to finish last in the NL East for a sixth consecutive losing season, while rookie James Wood has reached 30 home runs and homered in three of his last five at-bats.
