Adam Dunn’s future with the Washington Nationals remains murky, but the slugger is finding ways to help the team in the meantime. Dunn will try to continue his power surge in Thursday night’s finale of a four-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Nationals’ official website reported that Dunn was placed on waivers Tuesday, with the move coming four days after an unsuccessful attempt to trade the first baseman. If a player on waivers is claimed, a team has 48 hours to work out a trade or bring him back. Washington could still trade Dunn before the Aug. 31 deadline if he goes unclaimed, or the team can sign him to a contract extension.

So far, it hasn’t proved a distraction to Dunn as he’s hit four homers and driven in seven runs in four games this month. He went deep twice and had an RBI single in a 7-2 win Wednesday, giving him an NL-best 28 homers and 71 RBIs this season. While attempting to take a third consecutive series over the Diamondbacks and claim their sixth victory in eight games overall, the Nationals will try to help Ross Detwiler to his first win this season. Detwiler, who has never faced Arizona, has been given a combined three runs of support in his two starts since being recalled from the minors July 25. The left-hander was hurt by five unearned runs in a loss at Milwaukee that same day - his first major league start following offseason hip surgery. He did not get a decision in Saturday’s 7-5 win over Philadelphia despite allowing one run and five hits over 5 1-3 innings.
