Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Matt Wieters 10-Day DL Matt Wieters (hamstring) played catch before Tuesday's game against the Rays. Wieters was placed on the disabled list May 11 with a hamstring injury, and underwent surgery to repair the injury a week later. He hopes to return in early July, with a return after the All-Star break being the most likely outcome. Jun 5
	2	Pedro Severino
	3	Spencer Kieboom
	4	Jhonatan Solano 60-Day DL Nationals transferred C Jhonatan Solano from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Jeremy Hellickson. Solano has been out for the last week with bone spurs in his right elbow. Apr 16
	5	Raudy Read Suspended Raudy Read (suspended) has begun a minor league rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg. Read was handed an 80-game suspension back in February after testing positive for Boldenone, a performance-enhancing drug. The 24-year-old will likely be stationed at Triple-A Syracuse once his rehab stint is up. He posted a .767 OPS and 17 home runs in 108 games at the Double-A level in 2017. Jun 15
1B	1	Ryan Zimmerman 10-Day DL Nationals manager Dave Martinez on Sunday conceded that Ryan Zimmerman's progress from a strained right oblique has been slow. Martinez said nearly a month ago that Zimmerman could return "fairly soon," but obviously that proved to be overly optimistic. The first baseman is with the Nats on their road trip and continues to work out, but it's not clear when he might be activated from the disabled list. He's been out since mid-May. Jun 17
	2	Matt Adams 10-Day DL Nationals placed 1B Matt Adams on the 10-day disabled list with a fractured left index finger. Adams was struck on the hand while attempting to bunt on Friday, and it took a couple of days for the Nats to discover the small fracture. It's unclear how long he will be sidelined. The left-handed-hitting first baseman boasts a .275/.351/.575 batting line with 13 home runs and 36 RBI in 57 games this season with Washington. Jun 19
	3	Mark Reynolds
2B	1	Daniel Murphy
	2	Howie Kendrick 60-Day DL Nationals transferred INF/OF Howie Kendrick from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Tim Collins on the 40-man roster. Kendrick is set to undergoing surgery Monday for a ruptured right Achilles and is expected to miss the remainder of the season. May 21
	3	Wilmer Difo
SS	1	Trea Turner
3B	1	Anthony Rendon
LF	1	Adam Eaton
	2	Juan Soto
CF	1	Michael Taylor

RF	1	Bryce Harper
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Max Scherzer
	2	Stephen Strasburg 10-Day DL Stephen Strasburg (shoulder) still hasn't resumed throwing. Nationals manager Davey Martinez told reporters Tuesday that Strasburg is still in the strength-building phase of his rehab. The 29-year-old right-hander has been on the disabled list since June 10 with shoulder inflammation and there is currently no timetable for his return to the Nats' starting rotation. He seems unlikely to be ready before the All-Star break, unless he can ramp things up soon. Jun 19
	3	Tanner Roark
	4	Gio Gonzalez
	5	Jeremy Hellickson 10-Day DL Jeremy Hellickson (hamstring) is slated to throw a simulated game on Tuesday. This rules Hellickson out as a possibility to start Tuesday against the Orioles, though he'd be on turn to return this weekend depending on how things play out. The veteran right-hander has been out for a couple of weeks with a right hamstring strain. Jun 18
	6	Erick Fedde
	7	Joe Ross 60-Day DL Nationals placed RHP Joe Ross on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. Ross underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last July and will miss the majority of the 2018 season. This move cleared out a 40-man roster spot for veteran reliever Joaquin Benoit, who was officially signed to a one-year, $1 million contract on Wednesday morning. Feb 21
	8	Jefry Rodriguez
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Sean Doolittle
	2	Kelvin Herrera
	3	Ryan Madson
	4	Brandon Kintzler 10-Day DL Brandon Kintzler (forearm) has begun throwing on flat ground. Kintzler was placed on the disabled list June 10 with a flexor strain in his right forearm. If everything goes smoothly with his rehab, he could return to the Nationals' bullpen sometime in early July. Jun 19
	5	Justin Miller
	6	Shawn Kelley
	7	Matt Grace
	8	Sammy Solis
	9	Tim Collins
	10	Joaquin Benoit 60-Day DL Nationals transferred RHP Joaquin Benoit from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Mark Reynolds. Benoit has been out since mid-March with a strained right forearm. May 13
	11	Koda Glover 60-Day DL Koda Glover (shoulder) has been throwing up to 75 feet. Glover is progressing but still has a ways to go in his recovery from right shoulder inflammation. The right-hander won't be eligible to return from the disabled list until late May. Apr 12
