As roster begins to change, hope emerges for Nats
Mark Zuckerman
Nationals
The Nationals’ 2022 season began exactly two months ago, and it began with an uninspired loss to a Mets club that has proceeded to win eight of the 10 head-to-head matchups between the two division foes so far. Along the way, there hasn’t been much reason to get excited about these Nationals. Even after winning three of four over the weekend agains
Henderson and Westburg bumps bring needed boosts

Orioles
Promotions earned yesterday also felt like a bone tossed. The huge disappointment over top pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez perhaps missing the rest of the 2022 season with a Grade 2 strain of his right lat muscle was followed a day later by the rush that comes from infield prospects Gunnar Henderson and Jordan Westburg advancing to Triple-A Nor
