The Washington Nationals announced several additional pitching moves after dropping the series against the Toronto Blue Jays

The Washington Nationals made some more changes to their bullpen, and that has resulted in Paxton Schultz being recalled.

The Washington Nationals have called up one of their in-season trade additions to replace the optioned Paxton Schultz.

New York beat Washington 16-7 on May 18th with a 10-run 12th inning. Washington let Paxton Schultz work for a third straight day, eventually sent infielder Jorbit Vivas to the mound, and watched a tied game turn into a roster-management warning in one inning.

The Washington Nationals put another reliever on the 15 day IL while promoting two, one who closed out Sunday's win over the Chicago White Sox.

With the bullpen a consistent weakness for the Washington Nationals to open the 2026 regular season, the front office demoted another reliever back to Triple A Rochester.

Paxton Schultz was let go recently.

The Washington Nationals made a pair of moves on Friday to solidify its 40-man 2026 roster
