Washington Nationals (31-32) at Arizona Diamondbacks (33-29) — Game Preview
The Washington Nationals head into Chase Field one game under .500 at 31-32, drawing an Arizona Diamondbacks club sitting four games over .500 at 33-29 and looking to keep its steady build going at home. The Nationals lean on a top-of-the-order tandem in CJ Abrams and James Wood, with Abrams hitting .288 and Wood already at 16 home runs through the first two months.
Arizona counters with one of the most disciplined bats in the National League in Corbin Carroll, who is slashing .292/.379/.557 from right field, and a steady run producer in Ketel Marte, whose 37 RBIs help anchor the middle of the order. The records are close enough that the result could swing on a handful of at-bats, and the Diamondbacks’ home-field edge is the clearest separator. Both clubs are also navigating long injury lists, with Washington missing Jake Irvin, DJ Herz, Trevor Williams and Josiah Gray from its rotation and Arizona without Corbin Burnes and Carlos Santana, among others.

Players to Watch: Washington Nationals vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
Washington Nationals
CJ Abrams — SS. Abrams is hitting .288 with 12 home runs and 47 RBIs, giving Washington a top-of-the-order bat who can create offense in multiple ways. The .381 OBP and .522 slugging mark show a shortstop who is no longer just a table-setter — he’s one of the most complete bats in the visiting lineup.
James Wood — RF. Wood leads the Nationals with 16 home runs at a .264 average and 39 RBIs, giving Washington its loudest power source. In a Chase Field run environment, the right fielder’s pull-side pop gives the Nationals a clear path to quick offense.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Corbin Carroll — RF. Carroll’s slash line of .292/.379/.557 gives Arizona one of the most balanced offensive profiles in this matchup. The right fielder gets on base, drives the ball, and gives the Diamondbacks a top-of-the-order threat who can set up the run producers behind him.
Ketel Marte — 2B. Marte sits at 11 home runs and 37 RBIs from second base, giving Arizona a run-producing complement to Carroll’s table-setting. The .258 average is below his career standard, but the power has played, and his at-bats remain an important part of the Diamondbacks’ middle-order plan.
