The Women’s Professional Baseball League will hold tryouts next month at the Washington Nationals’ home ballpark as it moves closer to its launch. The league is aiming to play its first season with six teams starting in spring 2026.

The Women’s Professional Baseball League will hold tryouts Aug. 22–25 in Washington, D.C., with 150 players advancing to its October draft ahead of a planned 2026 launch.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito made a memorable return to Washington and continued a monthlong surge in the process.

After winning the series against the Tigers, the Nats start their series against the Red Sox early. They are getting underway with an 11:05 start for the 4th of July. Last year we had a great 4th of July game with a Jake Irvin masterclass and a Jesse Winker go ahead home run.

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood accepted an invitation to the Home Run Derby on Thursday afternoon. He then celebrated with a five-hit performance in an 11-7 win against the Detroit Tigers that established a new piece of franchise history.

It's an incredible honor for the 6-foot-7 Wood, who will get a chance to be properly introduced to a national audience during the event in Atlanta. He would be the youngest-ever winner if he claims the Home Run Derby title, according to MLB's Sarah Langs.

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood became the third player to announce he will take part in the Home Run Derby
