11/29/23 Washington Nationals news & notes: Tanner Rainey returns from Tommy John surgery.... A little over a year removed from Tommy John surgery, Tanner Rainey got back on the hill in the minors this past August on a rehab stint. Nationals' manager Davey Martinez told reporters he was happy to have the 30-year-old working his way back in the club's system, as Rainey tried to get his mechanics in order, while building up his arm. Acquired by Washington from Cincinnati in a straight-up deal for Tanner Roark back in 2018, Rainey had a breakout year in 2020's COVID campaign, and bounced back from a rough '21 season with a strong showing in 2022 before the elbow injury. Rainey made 13 appearances in the Nationals' system before the front office tried to find a way to get him back up on the major league roster at the end of the season this past year.

10/05/23 Washington Nationals news & notes: Nats' late-inning arms; workloads, development + more.... Davey Martinez wanted to get Tanner Rainey back on the mound late this season, a year-plus after Tommy John surgery, in part for the veteran, to reward him for the hard work he put in to get back, but also to give some of the Nationals' bullpen arms a break. “I'm trying to think of ways to get [Rainey] on the roster,” Martinez explained heading into the final regular season series. “I'm looking at [Jordan] Weems right now, who's pitched an awful lot,” Martinez said. Weems was up to 49 appearances and 53 1/3 innings pitched at that point, and he pitched twice in the series with the Braves, finishing the year with a 3.62 ERA, 4.90 FIP, 4.61 BB/9, 9.88 K/9, and a .194/.300/.393 line against in 54 2/3 IP.

11/02/22 Washington Nationals' 2023 Bullpen: Tanner Rainey likely to miss most of '23…. In September, Davey Martinez was asked if there was any update on reliever Tanner Rainey, who’d had Tommy John surgery a month earlier, after an up-and-down run for the right-hander in his fourth season in D.C. Rainey’s 2022 season ended in July, with a right elbow issue which eventually needed a surgical fix. He had the surgery in August. It obviously stinks,” Martinez said, as quoted by MASN’s Mark Zuckerman in announcing the bad news on Rainey undergoing the procedure.

7/04/22 Happy July 4! The Washington Nationals get the frustration over with quickly in a 3-2 extra inning loss to Miami. Everyone who had seen Nats’ closer Tanner Rainey give up go-ahead run with two out in the ninth inning of Sunday’s 7-4 loss to the Marlins had a chance to check out of this one even earlier, before he gave an almost repeat performance. Rainey struck out Jesús Aguilar and Brian Anderson to start the ninth and had a one-ball count on Bryan De La Cruz when the Miami outfielder launched a high drive that banged off the top of the left-field foul pole, scoring the free runner as well for a 4-1 lead.

6/30/22 Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Tanner Rainey taking next step; rehab outings + more.... I think it’s — sometimes it’s his decision-making a lot on pitches that gets him in trouble, so we just have to make him understand, look, he’s throwing the ball 97-99 MPH, understand the score of the game, understand what we’re trying to do, and there’s times where I think — and situations where he feels like a walk won’t hurt him because he knows that the next guy he can get out. But I told him, I said, ‘When you go out there, it’s three outs, three quick outs. Don’t worry about...

5/25/22 Nationals end skid against Dodgers, win 1-0 in series finale.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Erik Fedde and three relievers combined on a six-hitter, César Hernández had an RBI single and the Washington Nationals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 1-0 Wednesday to avoid a series sweep.

Washington snapped a nine-game skid against Los Angeles. The Nationals had not defeated the Dodgers since Game 5 of the NL Division Series in 2019.

Tanner Rainey stranded two in the ninth inning for his fourth save in six tries, getting fly balls from Cody Bellinger and Will Smith to end it.

Los Angeles lost for only the second time in 11 games, but the Dodgers still own the best record in the National League at 29-14. Los Angeles had outscored Washington 19-5 in the first two games of the series.

NL home run leader Mookie Betts was out of the lineup for a planned day off, but he struck out as a pinch hitter to lead off the eighth. That snapped Betts’ 12-game streak with a run scored, which was tied with Rafael Furcal (2010) for the Dodgers’ longest such stretch since they moved to Los Angeles and trailed only Zack Wheat’s 13-game run in 1925 in franchise history.

Fedde (3-3) pitched six innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out six. Carl Edwards Jr. pitched the seventh, Kyle Finnegan escaped a two-on, one-out jam in the eighth and Rainey did the same in the ninth.

The Nationals manufactured a run in the sixth off Julio Urías when Victor Robles walked, Alcides Escobar followed with a bunt single and Hernández singled to left to bring in Robles.

Urías (3-4) allowed a run and four hits in six innings, striking out three. He lost for the third time in four starts.

Los Angeles shortstop Trea Turner extended his hitting streak to 17 games with an eighth-inning single.

5/28/21 Washington Nationals' Tanner Rainey working his way back again.... We definitely want to be careful with him, but with that being said, like I said, we wouldn’t activate him if we didn’t think that he threw the ball well in his bullpen. The ball was coming out really well,” Martinez continued. His slider was really sharp, his mechanics were probably better than I’ve seen in a while, so you know, I talked to him last night and he said he felt great, so I told him that he’ll be activated for the first game and he was excited about it.
