The struggles of the Nationals bullpen

Washington Post — The struggles of the Nationals' bullpen reached a calamitous low this week, not all a result of their own doing. Ross Detwiler couldn't make his start Monday because of a slight oblique strain and left-handed long reliever Zach Duke took his place with Craig Stammen serving as his backup. Ryan Mattheus coughed up five runs on Sunday, punched a locker, broke his hand and landed on the disabled list. So after Monday's game, the Nationals' seven-man bullpen was down to four. During the 10-game West Coast road trip, the bullpen was handed a lead five times and squandered it three times. Read ful...

Zach Duke has ugly fill-in performance

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Nationals pitcher Zach Duke took the place of Ross Detwiler Monday in San Francisco. He didn't get any run support in the 8-0 loss, but things didn't go so well for Duke, either.  Duke (0-1) took the defeat as he allowed four earned runs on seven hits and no walks spanning just 3 1/3 innings before giving way to Craig Stammen. He struck out just one and threw 58 pitches.  The 30-year-old has made 10 appearances this season for Washington but this was his first as a starter. It is also likely his last for a while. His ERA is now at 8.84 on the year with a 1.80 WHIP.

Craig Stammen could get a start

CBSSports.com Fantasy — With Ross Detwiler looking like a risk for his next scheduled start Monday against the Giants, Nationals manager Davey Johnson is reportedly leaning towards starting Craig Stammen in his place. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Stammen is most likely to get the starting nod if Detwiler has to sit. Zach Duke would also be considered for the start. Stamman has not started a game at the major-league level since 2010, but he does have a 2.33 ERA in 70 relief appearance over the last  two seasons.

Reliever Craig Stammen could start

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Nationals reliever Craig Stammen could make a start if Ross Detwiler misses time after leaving Wednesday's game after three innings with back spasms. Stammen replaced Detwiler and was able to go three innings, his longest appearance of the season. If Detwiler misses his next start, Stammen would be a candidate to fill the role. Stammen came up through the Nationals' system as a starter but was converted to a reliever upon reaching the majors. Stammen has been able to get a high number of strikeouts out of the bullpen, but his arm might not be stretched out enough for him to pitch deep into a g...

Nationals-Mets discussion thread: Game 18

Washington Post — The Nationals will try to take their series from the Mets today behind Jordan Zimmermann, one of the Nationals' very best players in the season's first three weeks. Yesterday, Craig Stammen touched on the importance of not letting the Mets take an early edge. "It's always big to win games in your division, just for the mentality, because you play them so many times," Stammen said. "The thing about losing three games to the Braves, now they feel good about facing us. If we do the same to the Mets, now we got people we play all the time feeling pretty good about facing us. If we win those games...
