Having strong spring Machado gave up a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless inning of relief during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.
Impact The 28-year-old right-hander has looked good in camp, as he hasn't given up a run in three Grapefruit League appearances with a 5:1 K:BB. Machado picked up 10 holds over 40 appearances out of the Nationals' bullpen last year, and he figures to fill a similar middle-relief role in 2022.

Won't serve as opener for twin bill Machado won't serve as an opener for first game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Mets, as Sean Nolin has been announced as Washington's starting pitcher.
Impact Washington intended to have Machado open the second half of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mets, but those plans were scrapped after the nightcap was postponed due to inclement weather. The two teams will conclude their series with a twin bill Thursday, but Machado looks like he'll work exclusively in a relief role. Nolin will get the starting nod for Game 1, and Erick Fedde is expected to start Game 2.

Wednesday's game postponed Machado won't start Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
Impact Machado was set to start a bullpen game after the completion of Tuesday's suspended contest earlier Wednesday evening, but the rain resulted in another postponement. The game will be made up via a doubleheader Thursday, and it remains to be seen if Machado will start one of those contests for the Nationals.

Impact Originally scheduled starter Joe Ross covered five innings earlier in the day during the completion of Tuesday's suspended contest, and Machado will open the bullpen game for Washington in the nightcap. Machado figures to throw an inning or two given he hasn't pitched more than two innings during a big-league appearance this year.

Recalled by Nationals Machado was recalled by the Nationals on Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact The Nationals had to make several changes to their roster Thursday with a handful of players landing on the COVID-19 injured list. Machado will give the team some extra bullpen depth, but his 12.54 ERA in 9.1 career MLB innings doesn't exactly inspire much confidence.
