Adam Eaton rolled his ankle Friday night:
“It’s just awful,” said an unusually somber Max Scherzer. “Especially when you see the replay, he comes up short of the bag, and you see his ankle roll over, his whole leg kind of falls apart. Seeing him in the training room, it’s an awful feeling. You hate seeing your teammates, those guys injured severely. And I think that’s what happened.”
The Nationals will reach into their farm system to replace Eaton:
The Nationals are calling up OF Rafael Bautista today, per source. He hit .291 with a .680 OPS and 3 steals in 19 games for AAA Syracuse.

Not sure why he includes OPS, when the relevant statistic is OBP. He owns a .325 OBP at AAA this season, .355 for his minor league career.
Luckily for the Nationals, they still have a lot of firepower in the lineup.
