This is it! The 2026 season ends for the Washington Nationals this afternoon. After this game against the Mets, the Nats enter a potentially longer than usual offseason. It has been a step forward season, but hopefully the season goes into October for the Nats next season. They have driven me nuts, but I will miss the 2026 Nationals.
With a lefty on the mound, the Nats will bring some right handed bats into the fold. Andres Chaparro will play first base and hit second. Jacob Young is also back in center field. That pushed Dylan Crews to right and James Wood to DH. Harry Ford also gets the start behind the plate. DJ Herz will make his second start and first in Nationals Park since 2024 this afternoon.
After leaving the game early following a HBP, Juan Soto is back in the Mets lineup. Brett Baty makes the move from shortstop to first base in this one. Francisco Lindor moves back to short and Marcus Semien will be at second. Ronny Mauricio is going to be the DH. Luis Torrens starts behind the plate. Sean Manaea gets the start for the Mets.
