Get well soon! Yesterday, MASN’s Dan Kolko announced on his X account that he had hip surgery, so we at the Nats Report wish Kolko well and hope he gets back to the broadcast booth sooner rather than later!
No longer in The Best Shape of My Life.
Had hip surgery today. Not my favorite thing I’ve ever done. Other stuff > hip surgery. But happy to be on the mend. Luckily holding a mic or sitting on my ass in the booth won’t tax me too much. See ya’ll back on MASN next week!

Game Preview: Washington Nationals vs. Miami Marlins
This afternoon, the Washington Nationals will take their first official road trip of Spring Training and the 2025 season by taking the 20-minute drive to the north on 1-95 to visit NL East Divisional Rivals, the Miami Marlins, at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium.
As of this morning, the Nationals have yet to name the starter for the game.
What happened during the offseason for the Marlins [We will have more in today’s Game Notes]
Clayton McCullough was named the 17th manager in Miami Marlins history on November 11, 2024. He comes to Miami after a decade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he served as First Base Coach for the past four seasons, including their 2024 World Series championship win. Before his time in Los Angeles, McCullough spent nine years (2006-2014) in the Toronto Blue Jays organization, including five postseason appearances. As a Minor League Manager in the Blue Jays system, he earned two Manager of the Year awards and compiled a 402-367 (.523) record, leading his teams to winning records in six of his seven seasons.
The Marlins' farm system, ranked 20th in baseball by Baseball America, has improved significantly from its 27th-place ranking before the 2024 season.

Rob Hassell III on Saturday drilled a two-out, bases-loaded double over the Astros’ left fielder, Colin Barbers’ head, to turn a 3-3 tie to a 6-3 lead for the Nationals. Marquis Grissom closed out the bottom of the ninth to earn his first save of the Spring. Hassell followed the Saturday game on Sunday with going 2-3 at the plate.
Hassell went 3-6 in the two games with 3 RBIs, two extra-base hits, and one stolen base. Defensively, Hassell also made a spectacular diving catch, robbing Wyatt Ford of a hit. Going into today’s day off, Hassell must feel good about how well his Spring is starting on his quest to make the Nationals’ Opening Day Roster.
Stay tuned to our social media channels and our live Spring Training blog throughout the day for the latest news about the signing.
