Slated to start Thursday Adon will be called up from Triple-A Rochester to start Thursday's game against the Phillies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact Adon was sent to the minors June 21 and allowed an unearned run while striking out three in five innings a day later. However, he hasn't pitched since then due to a planned break, so he should be fully rested when he takes the mound Thursday. The right-hander has posted a 6.97 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in 60.2 innings over 13 major-league starts this year.

Sent back to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
Impact Adon was returned to the minors one day after he was summoned from Rochester to make a spot start during the Nationals' doubleheader Friday with the Phillies. Though he tied his season high with six strikeouts in the outing, he gave up four runs on seven hits and a walk and was dealt his league-high 11th loss. Adon will now make regular turns in the Triple-A rotation with the Nationals having settled on Paolo Espino and Jackson Tetreault as the back-end options in its rotation until at least one of Stephen Strasburg (ribs) or Anibal Sanchez (neck) returns from the injured list.

Knocked around in return to majors Adon fell to 1-11 on the season in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies, giving up four runs on seven hits across five innings. He struck out six batters and walked...
Impact Adon's strikeout total matched his season high, but that was about the only positive he can take from another unimpressive outing. The Phillies got to him early,with Nick Castellanos doubling in the top of the first and two more runs coming around in the third. The outing raised Adon's ERA slightly to 6.97, which doesn't make a good case for him sticking around after the doubleheader.

Rejoining big club for spot start The Nationals plan to call up Adon from Triple-A Rochester to start the first game of Friday's doubleheader with the Phillies, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Washington is likely to designate Adon as its 27th man for the twin bill, so he's expected to be returned to Rochester immediately after the spot start. He'll be rejoining the Nationals after going 1-10 while supplying a 6.95 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 44:35 K:BB in 55.2 innings over 12 starts before being demoted to Triple-A earlier this month.

Demoted to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.
Impact Adon's demotion comes after he took his league-high 10th loss of the season while giving up eight earned runs in three innings during Tuesday's 12-2 loss to the Marlins. The rough outing inflated Adon's season ERA and WHIP to 6.95 and 1.76, respectively. With Adon heading to the minors, Evan Lee is expected to take over as Washington's No. 5 starter.

First to double-digit losses Adon (1-10) took the loss Tuesday as the Nationals were routed 12-2 by the Marlins, getting hammered for eight runs on seven hits and two walks over three-plus innings. He struck o...
Impact After coughing up five runs in the second inning, Adon got the hook in the fourth after a three-run blast by Miami's backup catcher Nick Fortes. The 23-year-old right-hander is the first pitcher in the majors to reach 10 losses, a dubious achievement that owes as much to the struggles of the team around him as his own ineffectiveness, and with Stephen Strasburg (neck) set to rejoin the rotation this week, the Nats could mercifully pull the plug on Adon's stint as a starter -- an assignment which has produced a 6.95 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 44:35 K:BB through 55.2 innings.

Allows 10 baserunners in loss Adon (1-9) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings during an 8-1 defeat at the hands of Cincinnati.
Impact The rookie right-hander gave up a three-run blast to Joey Votto in the first inning. The damage could have been greater but Adon was able to induce two double-play balls during his time on the mound. It was the fifth time in 11 starts that he walked four or more batters. Despite the mediocre showing, the outing actually lowered his ERA to 5.98. Adon's next start will likely be in the middle of next week in Miami.

Impact The quality start was only the second of the season in 10 trips to the mound for Adon, who tossed 62 of 89 pitches for strikes before exiting. A setback for Joe Ross (elbow) might have bought Adon some more time in the Nationals' rotation, but the rookie will need to improve significantly on his 6.08 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 38:29 K:BB through 47.1 innings to keep it.
