Matt Stairs has decided to retire.
Stairs was released by the Nationals earlier this week after batting just .154/.257/.169 with no home runs and only two RBI in 74 plate appearances. The 43-year-old native of Canada will hang up his cleats having slugged 265 career home runs over 19 major league seasons.

Nationals released 1B Matt Stairs.
Stairs was designated for assignment last week after batting just .153 with zero home runs in 65 at-bats for the Nationals. The 43-year-old seems likely to retire.

Nationals designated 1B Matt Stairs for assignment.
He was cleared to make room for the newly-acquired Jonny Gomes on the active roster. Stairs, 43, batted just .153 (10-for-65) with zero homers as a member of the Nationals. He could make some sense for a contender off the bench, but it's possible his career could finally be over.
Wed, Jul 27, 2011 02:53:00 PM
Adam Kilgore of the
Washington Post
thinks Matt Stairs could be released in order to free up a roster spot for the newly acquired Jonny Gomes.
It's the logical move, as Stairs is a waste of a bench spot right now, sporting a .154/.257/.169 batting line while going just 6-for-39 with no extra-base hits as a pinch-hitter. It could be the end of the line for the 43-year-old if he is in fact cut loose.

Nationals placed C Wilson Ramos on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain.
Ramos missed a couple weeks last month with the same injury. He doesn't think the strain is too bad, but it's possible the Nats will play it safe and hold him out longer this time around.

Jayson Werth
D.L.
Jayson Werth's return from the disabled list is expected to be delayed a few days after he felt some slight tightness in his right hamstring during his first rehab game with High-A Potomac Wednesday.
Werth, who had been slated to return Saturday, is visiting with the team’s specialist to get his hamstring examined. The Nationals don't seem too concerned about the minor setback, but they won't rush Werth back. "He wanted to go see another doctor in New York," manager Davey Johnson said. "Reason being, he felt a slight, little bit of tightness in his hamstring. He just wanted to check something out."

Nationals manager Davey Johnson confirmed Friday that Ross Detwiler will not make his scheduled start against the Giants on Monday due to a lower back injury.
Detwiler was required to leave his most recent start on Wednesday due to back spasms. No word yet on whether he'll require a trip to the disabled list. Craig Stammen is expected to replace Detwiler in the rotation while he's out.

Christian Garcia
D.L.
Christian Garcia (forearm) has been throwing from a mound and will begin incorporating curveballs on Thursday.
He'll then throw live batting practice after that before heading out on a rehab assignment, though it's not clear when he'll be ready for that. The Nats were planning on stretching Garcia out as a starter prior to his forearm injury, and they still might, but it depends on what the big club needs by the time the righty is healthy.
