CORY ABBOTT NEWS

Back with big club Sunday The Nationals recalled Abbott from Triple-A Rochester ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Abbott is back with the Nationals three days after he was returned to the minors upon being designated as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mariners. He covered two frames in relief in the first game of the twin bill that day and should be available as a multi-inning option Sunday behind starter Erasmo Ramirez, who won't work deep into the contest in what will be a bullpen day for Washington.

Impact Abbott is up with the Nationals for the second time this season and will be available for both ends of the twin bill before heading back to Rochester on Thursday.

Headed back to minors The Nationals optioned Abbott to Triple-A Rochester following Sunday's 9-3 win over the Phillies, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact MLB teams won't be able to carry more than 12 pitchers on the 26-man active roster beginning Monday, so Abbott's demotion will bring the Nationals down to the maximum allotted arms. He made his team debut Sunday, striking out one over a scoreless inning to finish out the game.

Called up by Washington Abbott was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Impact Abbott was claimed off waivers by the Giants in early May and will join the major-league bullpen after spending the last month and a half with the Triple-A club. He made six appearances (two starts) in Rochester and posted a 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in 13 innings. The right-hander should be available as a multi-inning reliever for the Nationals.

Claimed by Nationals Abbott was claimed off waivers by the Nationals on Wednesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Abbott was traded from the Cubs to the Giants on April 21, but he was recently cast off San Francisco's 40-man roster. He'll land with the Nationals and has been optioned to Triple-A Rochester to begin his time with the organization. He's allowed three runs while striking out six in six innings over two Triple-A starts this year.

Traded to Giants Abbott was traded from the Cubs to the Diamondbacks in exchange for cash considerations Thursday, Russell Dorsey of Bally Sports reports.

Impact Abbott was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday but will now get an opportunity with the Giants. Since the right-hander began the season in the minors, he'll likely head to Triple-A Sacramento to begin his time with his new organization. He made two appearances in Iowa early in the year and allowed three runs in six innings.

Designated for assignment Abbott was designated for assignment by the Cubs on Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Abbott began the season at Triple-A Iowa and will now lose his place on the 40-man roster after Mark Leiter's contract was selected by the Cubs on Saturday. Abbott has allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six in six innings in his first two starts in Iowa this year, and he'll likely remain in the organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Sent to Triple-A Abbott was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Friday.

Impact Abbott was likely always a long shot to break camp with the team after a poor debut season last year. In 17.1 innings, he stumbled to a 6.75 ERA and 12:11 K:BB.

Surrenders two across five frames Abbott didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings.

Impact Making his first big league start, Abbott pitched well to every Cardinal batter other than Tyler O'Neill, who tagged the righty for two solo home runs, and enjoyed his best outing all season in what is likely his final appearance of the campaign. The rookie concludes 2021 without a decision in 17.1 innings featuring a 6.75 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 12:11 K:BB.

Recalled, starting Friday Abbott was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to start Friday's game against the Cardinals, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Abbott had been in the minors since late July, and he posted a 4.56 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 47.1 innings during that time. He'll make his first major-league start in Friday's series opener against St. Louis after he recorded an 8.03 ERA and 2.03 WHIP in 12.1 innings across his first six big-league appearances.

Sent back down Abbott was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact Abbott was recalled by the Cubs on Tuesday, but he'll return to the minors after he allowed three runs on three hits and two walks in one relief inning during Wednesday's loss to the Reds. He could rejoin the Cubs as a low-leverage reliever at some point in 2021.

Recalled from Triple-A The Cubs recalled Abbott from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact The righty has pitched 11.1 innings of relief for the Cubs this season, posting a 6.35 ERA with eight strikeouts and seven walks across his five appearances. It's unclear what the intended role is for Abbott, who has been starting games for Triple-A Iowa but has been strictly a reliever at the big-league level.

Rejoins Cubs Abbot was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact The right-hander will rejoin the big-league club after spending the past couple weeks in the minors. He's worked out of the bullpen for the Cubs this season with four runs allowed over 8.1 frames in four appearances, but he's operated as a starter at Triple-A. Abbott and Trevor Williams should be in the mix for a spot start Sunday with Jake Arrieta (hamstring) landing on the injured list.

JULY 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to minors The Cubs optioned Abbott to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday.

Impact Abbott was sent back to the minors to make room on the active roster for Kyle Ryan, who was called up from Iowa in a corresponding move. The 25-year-old right-hander saw sparse action out of the Chicago bullpen upon being promoted June 5, appearing in four games while posting a 4.32 ERA in 8.1 innings. The Cubs will likely transition him back into a starting role once he rejoins Iowa.
