Final Lineups
Washington Nationals @ Athletics · Friday, Jul 17, 2026
Washington’s lineup is entirely new against Gage Jump. James Wood, Curtis Mead, Andrés Chaparro, CJ Abrams, Dylan Crews, Harry Ford, Daylen Lile, Jacob Young, and Nasim Nuñez all have no MLB history vs this pitcher. That leaves the Nationals with no established batter-vs-pitcher track record to lean on in this matchup.
Oakland has only a few hitters with any prior exposure to Cade Cavalli. Shea Langeliers is 1-for-3 in 3 PA with a .333 average and .666 OPS, while Tyler Soderstrom is hitless in his 0-for-2 summary over 2 AB and 2 PA with a .000 OPS. Lawrence Butler is also hitless, going 0-for-2 in 2 AB and 2 PA with a .000 OPS. Carlos Cortes, Jacob Wilson, Joshua Kuroda-Grauer, Donovan Walton, Henry Bolte, and Tommy White all have no MLB history vs this pitcher.
Oakland has the more familiar side by default, with three hitters who have previously faced Cavalli. Washington has no prior MLB plate appearances against Jump anywhere in the lineup.
