Jayson Werth

After a close reading of Jayson Werth's recent comments to the media, his relentless, thoughtful introspection merits nothing so much as a boo, rather: a shave of the knuckles and and a breathe-right strip.

The Nationals made a series of moves this afternoon, but the one that will have an immediate impact on the lineup was the decision to reinstate Jayson Werth from the DL after a rehab stint with the Potomac Nationals. Werth's in right field

Washington Nationals' manager Davey Johnson told reporters this afternoon that he got an "alarming report" on Jayson Werth. The 34-year-old outfielder learned he might miss at least two more weeks as he continues to rest a hamstring injury.

There were a number of injury updates on the Washington Nationals who are dealing with a variety of issues right now. Bryce Harper's knee is hurting. Jayson Werth's seeking another opinion on his hamstring. Ross Detwiler's headed for another test.

The Washington Nationals were cruising through the first game of three in LA's Dodger Stadium with a 6-0 lead on the Dodgers when Nats' RF Bryce Harper gave everyone a scare, colliding with the center field wall and knocking himself out of the game.

The Washington Nationals' decision to call Eury Perez up to replace Jayson Werth on the roster with Werth going to the DL with a hamstring strain was expected as soon as the Nats hinted yesterday that Werth would sit for at least the next seven days.

Jayson Werth's still not ready to return to the lineup and according to reports from Nationals Park this afternoon, he's likely headed for a DL stint. The Washington Nationals will also be missing Bryce Harper tonight due to an ingrown toenail.

The Good Phight welcomes its old buddies back to the blogroll, like Lee welcomed back Stonewall Jackson after he found out that he wasn't really dead after all. Whooee! On to Washington, boys!

Well, he certainly has the beard for it.
