| 11/29/23 | Washington Nationals news & notes: Tanner Rainey returns from Tommy John surgery.... A little over a year removed from Tommy John surgery, Tanner Rainey got back on the hill in the minors this past August on a rehab stint. Nationals' manager Davey Martinez told reporters he was happy to have the 30-year-old working his way back in the club's system, as Rainey tried to get his mechanics in order, while building up his arm. Acquired by Washington from Cincinnati in a straight-up deal for Tanner Roark back in 2018, Rainey had a breakout year in 2020's COVID campaign, and bounced back from a rough '21 season with a strong showing in 2022 before the elbow injury. Rainey made 13 appearances in the Nationals' system before the front office tried to find a way to get him back up on the major league roster at the end of the season this past year.

| 10/05/23 | Washington Nationals news & notes: Nats' late-inning arms; workloads, development + more.... Davey Martinez wanted to get Tanner Rainey back on the mound late this season, a year-plus after Tommy John surgery, in part for the veteran, to reward him for the hard work he put in to get back, but also to give some of the Nationals' bullpen arms a break. “I'm trying to think of ways to get [Rainey] on the roster,” Martinez explained heading into the final regular season series. “I'm looking at [Jordan] Weems right now, who's pitched an awful lot,” Martinez said. Weems was up to 49 appearances and 53 1/3 innings pitched at that point, and he pitched twice in the series with the Braves, finishing the year with a 3.62 ERA, 4.90 FIP, 4.61 BB/9, 9.88 K/9, and a .194/.300/.393 line against in 54 2/3 IP.

In September, Davey Martinez was asked if there was any update on reliever Tanner Rainey, who’d had Tommy John surgery a month earlier, after an up-and-down run for the right-hander in his fourth season in D.C. Rainey’s 2022 season ended in July, with a right elbow issue which eventually needed a surgical fix. He had the surgery in August. It obviously stinks,” Martinez said, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman in announcing the bad news on Rainey undergoing the procedure. Source: https://www.federalbaseball.com/2022/11/2/23428274... |

| 5/25/22 | Nationals end skid against Dodgers, win 1-0 in series finale. WASHINGTON (AP) — Erik Fedde and three relievers combined on a six-hitter, César Hernández had an RBI single and the Washington Nationals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 Wednesday to avoid a series sweep. Washington snapped a nine-game skid against Los Angeles. The Nationals had not defeated the Dodgers since Game 5 of the NL Division Series in 2019. Tanner Rainey stranded two in the ninth inning for his fourth save in six tries, getting fly balls from Cody Bellinger and Will Smith to end it. Los Angeles lost for only the second time in 11 games, but the Dodgers still own the best record in the National League at 29-14. Los Angeles had outscored Washington 19-5 in the first two games of the series. NL home run leader Mookie Betts was out of the lineup for a planned day off, but he struck out as a pinch hitter to lead off the eighth. That snapped Betts’ 12-game streak with a run scored, which was tied with Rafael Furcal (2010) for the Dodgers’ longest such stretch since they moved to Los Angeles and trailed only Zack Wheat’s 13-game run in 1925 in franchise history. Fedde (3-3) pitched six innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out six. Carl Edwards Jr. pitched the seventh, Kyle Finnegan escaped a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth and Rainey did the same in the ninth. The Nationals manufactured a run in the sixth off Julio Urías when Victor Robles walked, Alcides Escobar followed with a bunt single and Hernández singled to left to bring in Robles. Urías (3-4) allowed a run and four hits in six innings, striking out three. He lost for the third time in four starts. Los Angeles shortstop Trea Turner extended his hitting streak to 17 games with an eighth-inning single. TRAINER’S ROOM Dodgers: Bellinger (illness) was out of the lineup for the second day in...
