Michael Soroka Nears Return & Nats Show Grit at Home

1. In this episode of the Talk Nats Podcast, we start with a detailed look at Michael Soroka’s rehab progress following his biceps injury in late March. After two encouraging starts in Double-A Harrisburg, Soroka appears physically and mentally ready to rejoin the Nationals rotation. With improved command of his changeup and increased pitch count, the right-hander could soon bring valuable experience and upside to a developing young staff. Manager Davey Martinez hasn’t confirmed a return date yet, but momentum is building for Soroka’s imminent reactivation.

In our second segment, we break down a gritty homestand that showed the Nationals’ character despite a lopsided loss to the Mets to close it out. The team went 4–3 overall, with comeback wins fueled by key contributions from young stars like CJ Abrams, James Wood, and Riley Adams. Their performance — and a sharp turnaround in one-run games — suggests a team starting to forge an identity rooted in resilience and chemistry. With strong clubhouse energy and budding talent, the Nationals may not be contenders yet, but they’re learning how to win together.
