After a disappointing 4-2 loss to the Texas Rangers, Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez reflected on his team's offensive struggles. The Nationals have scored only 11 runs in their last seven games, marking the lowest total in baseball. Despite this, morale remains relatively high within the clubhouse following a mixed homestand. Martinez hinted at possible changes, including lineup switches and player sit-outs, to improve performance. The team also made roster moves, sending infielder Nasim Núñez to AAA while calling up first baseman Andrés Chaparro, who has excelled in the minors. Martinez backed pitcher Trevor Williams despite his recent struggles.
"If it doesn't get through to some of these guys, we're going to have to do something else. We'll have to switch the lineup. I may have to platoon guys."
"He's in the rotation. He gave up two runs... His pitch count just gets up there... last year he missed three months [with a right flexor muscle]."
