Newsbreakers

September 30, 2009

Justin Maxwell's fifth career home run was a big one on Wednesday. The 25-year-old outfielder punished Francisco Rodriguez's 37th pitch of the ninth inning, rocketing a game-winning grand slam off the All-Star. The homer enabled the Nationals to beat the Mets 7-3, and to improve to 1-87 when trailing after eight innings in 2009.

Our View:

Truly stunning. Despite his Wednesday heroics, Maxwell doesn't figure to more than a fifth outfielder should he make the Nats next season.

September 12, 2009

Justin Maxwell went 2-for-4 with the third and fourth home runs of his career on Saturday night, but it didn't help the Nationals, as they lost 11-3 in Miami.

Our View:

At age 25, Maxwell has played in just 36 career games, and doesn't seem likely to be an impact player any time soon.

May 30, 2009

The Washington Post reports that outfielder Justin Maxwell was optioned back to Triple-A on Saturday. Shortstop Alberto Gonzalez was called up.

Our View:

In Maxwell's second stint with the Nats, he went 0-for-16 with 10 strikeouts. Defensively, he is a very good player. However, he proves to be overmatched at the dish.

May 20, 2009

Justin Maxwell has been recalled by the Nationals from Triple-A Syracuse, according to the Associated Press. The Nats placed Elijah Dukes (hamstring) on the 15-day DL as the corresponding move.

Our View:

Maxwell should see some playing time as a reserve outfielder while Dukes is on the shelf, but the regular three starters will be Austin Kearns, Josh Willingham and Adam Dunn. Maxwell is only worth a look for deeper NL-only leagues.

April 28, 2009

Justin Maxwell has been optioned to Triple-A Syracuse by the Nationals, according to TSN. The team activated Willie Harris from the DL as the corresponding move.

Our View:

The 25-year-old outfielder has potential to make an impact, but only received eight at-bats with Washington prior to his demotion, and won't be missed in fantasy leagues.

April 26, 2009

Outfielder Justin Maxwell went 2-for-5 with two steals, one run, and one RBI against the Mets on Sunday.

Our View:

Maxwell was filling in for Elijah Dukes, and it was a rare shot to show the Nats his stuff. He is an excellent athlete and has some upside, but we don't expect him to fight for a permanent job in the near future.

April 19, 2009

Washington called up Justin Maxwell from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Our View:

Maxwell replaces the injured Ronald Bernadina on Washington's roster, though he is not expected to receive much playing time and will probably be sent back down to the minors when Willie Harris gets healthy.

March 16, 2009

Justin Maxwell has been sent down to Triple-A Syracuse by the Nationals, according to the Associated Press.

Our View:

Maxwell is a top prospect, but was not yet expected to push for a reserve spot in the Nationals' outfield.
