Foster Griffin Leads Nationals as Dodgers Consider Jonah Heim Trade

Washington Nationals left‑hander Foster Griffin (22) entered the July 19 game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with an 11‑2 record and a 2.69 ERA, extending his franchise‑record streak of eight starts allowing one run or fewer. Griffin, a free agent after the season, said he enjoys his time in Washington and could be traded before the Aug. 3 deadline.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers are exploring a trade for Athletics catcher Jonah Heim to cover for injured catcher Will Smith. Reports suggest a possible swap of Heim for pitching prospect River Ryan, with other options on the table, as the Dodgers seek depth at the catching position for the remainder of the season.
