    Riley Adams went 0-for-3 and committed his third error of the spring Friday against the Braves.
    Adams made a wild throw on a Conner Capel steal attempt, allowing Capel to go on to third. Many expected the Nationals to move on from the arbitration-eligible Adams after he spent the final five weeks of last season in the majors, but they kept him around to compete with Drew Millas for the backup catcher job. That he’s out of options and Millas still has two remaining should give Adams an edge here. However, the Nationals shouldn’t be too worried about that, since even if Adams exits the organization, they’d still have Andrew Kinzler in Triple-A as depth.
  • WSH Catcher #15
    Riley Adams (wrist) is back in the lineup Monday against the Marlins.
    Adams was scratched from Saturday’s lineup due to a wrist contusion, but the fact he’s back just a couple days later shows how unserious the injury was. Adams will be the backup backstop for the Nats in 2025.
  • WSH Catcher #15
    Riley Adams was scratched from Saturday’s lineup with a right wrist contusion.
    Adams was hit in the wrist by the pitch Friday, and while the 28-year-old was slated to return to the lineup, the Nationals will give him some extra rest. The backstop already underwent X-rays that revealed just the contusion, so he should be back in Grapefruit League games in the coming days.
  • WSH Catcher #15
    Riley Adams hit a grand slam to help the Nationals to a 7-0 win over the Marlins on Saturday.
    Adams has his first homer of the spring with the grand salami. The 28-year-old will be the backup backstop to Keibert Ruiz for the 2025 campaign.
  • WSH Catcher #15
    Nationals and C Riley Adams avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $850,000 contract.
    Adams was a serviceable backup for the Nationals in 2023 but took a step back offensively last season, slashing just .224/.292/.336 with two home runs in 130 plate appearances. He also grades out poorly as a defensive catcher, so he’s likely best served as organizational depth behind the plate.
  • WSH Center Fielder #3
    Nationals selected the contract of OF Dylan Crews from Triple-A Rochester.
    The move was announced over the weekend but is now official. The second overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft is hitting .272/.343/.446 with 21 doubles, six triples, 13 homers, 68 RBI, and 25 steals for Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester during his first full pro season. Crews is a plus runner who makes good swing decisions and has the easy power to drive balls out of the yard. He has struggled with spin at times in his brief pro career, so there’s no telling how quickly he’ll hit the ground running, but the raw ability is immense. Riley Adams was optioned in a corresponding move.
  • WSH Catcher #15
    Nationals optioned C Riley Adams to Triple-A Rochester.
    The Nationals needed to clear a spot on their active roster for Dylan Crews to make his highly anticipated debut on Monday, and dropping their extra catcher was an easy way to accomplish that. Adams will continue to serve as extra catching depth at the Triple-A level.
  • WSH Catcher #20
    Keibert Ruiz will not be in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Padres.
    The catcher has been strong of late, hitting .291 in 15 games in July with three home runs, six runs, and 10 RBI. He is back on the radar in one-catcher formats but will sit on Wednesday with Riley Adams serving as the starting catcher.
  • WSH Catcher #20
    Keibert Ruiz is not in the Nationals’ lineup for Thursday’s game against the Mets.
    It’s a routine day off for Ruiz with Riley Adams stepping in as the starting catcher. Ruiz has started to heat up at the plate over the last three weeks, hitting .295 in 16 games with two home runs, nine RBI, and seven runs. He also has just a 4.6 percent strikeout rate over that span and has re-emerged as an option in one-catcher formats.
  • WSH Catcher #15
    Nationals recalled C Riley Adams from Triple-A Rochester.
    The 28-year-old backstop has already appeared in 25 games for the Nationals this season, slashing .215/.281/.354 with a pair of homers and six RBI in 89 plate appearances. It’s not much, but it’s more production than they were getting from Drew Millas, which is why the team most likely made the switch again. He’ll function as the primary backup behind Keibert Ruiz for the time being.
