Washington Nationals
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Dylan Crews was the Nationals prospect getting most of the hype last winter, but Lile is the one who captured headlines in-season, slashing .299/.347/.498 with nine homers and eight steals across 351 plate appearances. Called up in late May, Lile was optioned shortly thereafter before returning for good in mid-June. Eventually, Lile carved out regular starts between left field, right field and DH, showcasing good contact skills to go along with his pop from the left side of the plate. New manager Blake Butera would be justified in throwing up the red light given that Lile was caught stealing six times in 14 attempts as a rookie, though Lile has the speed to improve his efficiency. While he did not grade well on defense, Washington is rebuilding and creating at-bats for Lile should be a priority after what he showed at the age of 22. Read Past Outlooks

Signed a one-year contract with the Nationals in March of 2026.
First home run of 2026
OFWashington Nationals
April 17, 2026
Lile went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored during the Nationals' 10-5 loss to the Giants on Friday.
Analysis
It took until the 20th game of the regular season for Lile to go long, with his two-run home run off Logan Webb in the fourth inning reducing the Nationals' deficit to 8-3. Despite the lack of power, Lile has had success getting on base, reaching base safely in seven of his last eight outings. Over that eight-game span, he has gone 10-for-34 (.294) with one steal, three RBI and four runs scored.
