Nationals Offense Decimated by Trades and Injury
Washington has shed multiple elite bats via trade and now faces a significant injury loss, leaving their once-top MLB lineup severely depleted.
The Nationals recently held the highest-scoring lineup in MLB but have since traded away their best right-handed hitter and the NL's slugging percentage leader. On top of those departures, one of their best offensive players has been lost to injury. The cumulative effect was on full display in a Tuesday night game at Citizens Bank Park, implying a poor offensive performance.
