Mon Aug 4 2014 | 16:41 | McLouth received cortisone shot in shoulder Monday |
McLouth received a cortisone shot in his shoulder Monday, but team's medical staff don't believe the ailment is a serious one, Dan Kolko of MASN reports. |
The injection was meant to alleviate inflammation in the shoulder, and an MRI seemingly allayed any concerns from doctors. Alas, he'll head to the DL in the near future, with an undetermined recovery timetable in front of him. While Steve Souza was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, the Nationals are firmly committed to outfielders Bryce Harper, Denard Span, and Jayson Werth on a daily basis. |

Mclouth, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, will likely be placed on the disabled list, mlb.com's William Ladson reports. |
The Nationals recalled outfielder Steven Souza, indicating that McLouth is headed for the DL. With Souza having a tremendous year at Triple-A Syracuse, the Nats may find that they've upgraded their outfield depth due to McLouth's injury. |
Wed Jul 30 2014 | 10:02 | McLouth got start in right field Tuesday and 0-4 |
McLouth got the start in right field Tuesday and went 0-for-4. |
Jayson Werth could return to the starting lineup on Wednesday, but even if he doesn't Nats manager Matt Williams may consider another option to replace him, given McLouth's weak .175/.283/.241 line on the season. |
Wed May 28 2014 | 22:57 | McLouth logs four hits, SB in loss to Marlins |
Nate McLouth went 4-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base, and a two-run double in Wednesday's 10-inning loss to the Marlins. |
It was a night of missed opportunities for the Nationals, who banged out 15 hits and drew five walks. They were never able to push McLouth across home plate. It was a nice display of offense from McLouth, who had been struggling offensively entering the night. He pushes his slash line up to .182/.321/.261 on the season. |

Tue May 13 2014 | 19:54 | McLouth sits after re-opening scab |
Nate McLouth is not in the Nationals' lineup Tuesday after re-opening the scab on his right hand during Monday's batting practice and game. |
He's available off the bench. The injury has been poor timing for McLouth, as he was slated to play regularly against righties with Bryce Harper (thumb). Of course, he's hitting only .091/.254/.164 this season, so the Nats probably haven't missed much in the week he's been out. |

Nate McLouth returned to the starting lineup on Saturday, but went 0-for-3 against the A's. |
It was McLouth's first start since he sliced open his hand making a terrific catch against the wall five days ago. Unfortunately, McLouth is still slumping offensively; he's just 4-for-50 this season and he's without a hit since April 27. The Nationals need more from him with Bryce Harper and now Adam LaRoche out. |

Thu Dec 12 2013 | 15:21 | Nationals finalize two-year deal with McLouth |
Nationals signed OF Nate McLouth to a two-year, $10.75 million contract. |
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported news of an agreement last week while Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun passed along the details of the contract, which is said to include an option for a third year. McLouth, 32, batted .258/.329/.399 with 12 homers and 30 stolen bases for the Orioles this past season and should be an active fourth outfielder in Washington. However, it could be tough for him to carve out value in most mixed fantasy leagues. |

Fri Dec 6 2013 | 16:53 | Nats ink Nate McLouth to two-year contract |
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Nationals have agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Nate McLouth. |
Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun says the deal is for $10.75 million and also includes an option for a third season. The Nats don't have a starting spot for McLouth, but he can play all three outfield positions and is expected to get more playing time than your average fourth outfielder. The 32-year-old batted .258/.329/.399 with 12 homers and 30 stolen bases for the Orioles in 2013. |
