The Washington Nationals’ home game on Wednesday night against the Atlanta Braves was postponed by inclement weather and rescheduled as part of a split doubleheader on Sept. 16.
The postponed game is now slated for 1:05 p.m. local time at Nationals Park, and the originally scheduled game remains at 6:45 p.m.
The Braves were scheduled to start AJ Smith-Shawver (3-2, 2.33 ERA) on Wednesday against fellow right-hander Trevor Williams (2-5, 5.91) of the Nationals. Those two are slated to pitch in the regularly-scheduled game on Thursday night.
The Nationals have won four consecutive games, including 5-3 over the Braves on Tuesday to open the series.
Washington outfielder Dylan Crews, who exited Tuesday’s game with a lower-back injury, was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a left oblique strain.
In a corresponding move, the Nationals called up one of their top outfield prospects, Robert Hassell III from Triple-A Rochester, who could be making his major league debut. Hassell is ranked the No. 11 prospect in the Nationals’ farm system by MLB Pipeline.
