Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Orioles 1B prospect Corban Joseph homered twice in Sunday's win for Double-A Bowie.

Joseph finished 4-for-4 with four RBI and 12 total bases. A recent 13-for-33 stretch has raised Joseph's average from .276 to .293. The 26-year-old has struck out just 20 times in 229 at-bats this season. He made his big league debut with the Yankees in 2013 but hasn't been back to the majors since.

Orioles signed INF Corban Joseph to a minor league contract.

He's now in the same organization as his brother, Caleb. Corban, 26, had been at Double-A with the Braves, where he hit .268/.333/.301 over 40 games. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2013.

Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Yankees sent INF Corban Joseph outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster. Joseph had a cup of coffee with the Yankees in 2013 and hit just .239 with a .712 OPS in 188 at-bats at Triple-A. The 25-year-old suffered an undisclosed injury that ultimately ended his season and limited him to just 47 games at the minor league level.

Wed, Nov 20, 2013 08:59:00 PM

Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Yankees activated INF Corban Joseph from the 60-day disabled list.

Joseph was limited to just 49 games between Triple-A and the majors this season due to an undisclosed injury. He shouldn't have trouble being ready for spring training, though, when he'll compete for a bench role.

Mon, Nov 4, 2013 07:00:00 PM

Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Yankees optioned INF Corban Joseph to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The move was made prior to Tuesday's game, as Joseph functioned as the 26th man during Monday's doubleheader. He went 1-for-6 with a double and a walk during his brief stay with the big club.

Wed, May 15, 2013 04:08:00 PM

Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Yankees recalled INF Corban Joseph from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Joseph is starting at first base in the first half of Monday's old school doubleheader against the Indians. It will be the 24-year-old infielder's major league debut.

Mon, May 13, 2013 10:51:00 AM

Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Yankees optioned INF Corban Joseph to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Joseph was up in the bigs for only two days and did not take an at-bat. He could get another shot later this summer.

Thu, May 2, 2013 03:48:00 PM

Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Yankees recalled INF Corban Joseph from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

He'll take the place of Kevin Youkilis (back) on the active roster. Joseph, 24, is a .282/.365/.430 hitter over parts of six seasons in the minors and will function as a reserve infielder.

Tue, Apr 30, 2013 03:13:00 PM

Corban Joseph - 2B - Nationals

Yankees purchased the contract of 2B Corban Joseph from Double-A Trenton.

Joseph, 23, hit .277/.353/.415 with five homers and 58 RBI over 499 at-bats for Trenton this season. The former fourth-round pick is below average defensively and hasn't progressed much with the bat, but the Yankees are still holding out hope that he'll be a useful piece of the roster eventually.

	2	Wilmer Difo
SS	1	Trea Turner 60-Day DL Nationals transferred SS Trea Turner from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. This is nothing more than a paperwork move to clear a 40-man roster spot for outfielder Alejandro De Aza. Turner took on-field batting practice Tuesday for the first time since fracturing his right wrist in late June. He won't be ready for activation for at least another couple of weeks. Aug 16
	2	Stephen Drew 10-Day DL Stephen Drew (abdomen) took grounders at second base on Tuesday. It was his first infield practice since he landed on the disabled list in late July with an abdominal strain. Drew should be ready to rejoin the Nationals before the end of the month. Aug 15
	3	Adrian Sanchez
3B	1	Anthony Rendon
LF	1	Jayson Werth 60-Day DL Jayson Werth (foot) is reporting to the Nationals' spring training facility in West Palm Beach, Florida. He'll work out there for the next couple of days before possibly embarking on a minor league rehab assignment over the weekend. Werth has been on the disabled list since early June with a bone bruise in his left foot. The veteran outfielder should be ready for activation around the final week of August or first week of September, assuming he can avoid setbacks. Aug 16
	2	Howie Kendrick
	3	Ryan Raburn 10-Day DL Nationals activated OF Ryan Raburn from the bereavement list; placed him on the 10-day disabled list with a left trapezius strain. Raburn was placed on the bereavement list on Sunday to allow him time to mourn the passing of his grandfather. It is unclear just when he suffered the trapezius strain which is now sending him to the disabled list. There is no current timetable for Raburn's return. Jul 26
CF	1	Michael Taylor
	2	Brian Goodwin 10-Day DL Nationals placed OF Brian Goodwin on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to August 14, with a left groin strain. The injury comes with bad timing for Goodwin, who had been drawing regular starts in the Nationals' outfield. He owns a cool .811 OPS with 13 home runs and six stolen bases in 74 games this season. Alejandro De Aza has been called up from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding 25-man roster move. Aug 16
	3	Andrew Stevenson
	4	Adam Eaton 60-Day DL Adam Eaton (knee) told reporters Wednesday morning that he has been doing light running, hitting, and throwing. Eaton also said that he hasn't ruled out returning to the Nationals' active roster during the postseason, but that doesn't seem very likely to happen. The 28-year-old center fielder underwent major surgery on May 10 to repair ACL and meniscus tears in his left knee. It's a procedure that typically requires 6-9 months of rest and rehab, sometimes a full year. Aug 16
RF	1	Bryce Harper 10-Day DL Nationals placed OF Bryce Harper on the 10-day disabled list with a bone bruise in his left knee. Harper suffered the injury Saturday after slipping on the first base bag while trying to beat out a grounder in the bottom of the first inning. The good news is an MRI revealed no ligament or tendon damage, but the bad news is the 24-year-old MVP candidate will likely be sidelined until mid-to-late September. Michael Taylor has been activated in a corresponding 25-man roster move. Aug 13
	2	Alejandro De Aza
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Max Scherzer
	2	Stephen Strasburg 10-Day DL Stephen Strasburg (elbow) struck out five while yielding one run over five innings in a rehab start with High-A Potomac on Monday. Strasburg allowed three hits and walked one, throwing 66 pitches on the night. He retired the final eight batters he faced and hit 95 mph with his fastball. In other words, it appears he's ready to rejoin the Nationals' rotation. Strasburg should soon officially be cleared to start this weekend in San Diego. Aug 14
	3	Tanner Roark
	4	Gio Gonzalez
	5	Edwin Jackson
	6	Joe Ross 60-Day DL Joe Ross underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday. Ross is done for 2017, and the majority of 2018. The 24-year-old right-hander entered this season with high expectations, but he pitched to a 5.01 ERA in 72 2/3 innings and has a long road back to fantasy relevance. Ross is scheduled to become arbitration-eligible in 2019. Jul 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Sean Doolittle
	2	Brandon Kintzler
	3	Ryan Madson Sidelined Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday morning that Ryan Madson is having a problem with a finger on his throwing hand. It's more serious than a blister. "We're analyzing it now," Baker told reporters ahead of Wednesday afternoon's series finale against the visiting Angels. Madson, acquired from the Athletics on July 16, has worked nine scoreless innings with Washington but might need an extended break. Aug 16
	4	Koda Glover 60-Day DL Nationals transferred RHP Koda Glover from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for Jacob Turner on the 40-man roster. Glover has been out for over a month with back and shoulder problems. There's no clear timetable for his return, but he's eligible to return by mid-August. Jul 17
	5	Shawn Kelley 10-Day DL Shawn Kelley (trapezius) is set to begin a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Syracuse. Kelley got the go-ahead after a successful simulated appearance on Wednesday. He is scheduled to pitch twice at Syracuse and should then be cleared to return to the Nationals' bullpen. The right-hander has been sidelined since June 17 because of a strained trapezius. Jul 27
	6	Matt Albers
	7	Oliver Perez
	8	Enny Romero 10-Day DL Enny Romero (forearm) played catch Tuesday. The fact that he's resumed a throwing program less than a week after his forearm injury would seem to be a good sign. Romero has posted a 3.99 ERA with 57 strikeouts over 47 1/3 relief innings this season. Aug 8
	9	Matt Grace
	10	Joe Blanton
	11	Sammy Solis
