Cade Cavalli - Gets call-up to Double-AThe Nationals promoted Cavalli from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg on Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
ImpactThough he didn't make his professional debut until May after getting selected in the first round of the 2020 first-year player draft, Cavalli already entered the season as the Nationals' No. 1 pitching prospect. He's more than justified the hype through his first seven pro starts, limiting opponents at High-A to a .171 average while generating 71 punchouts to go with a 1.77 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 40.2 innings. The right-hander's sketchy injury history during his college days at Oklahoma will likely prompt the Nationals to manage his innings carefully for the remainder of 2021, but with a strong showing at Double-A to close out the season, Cavalli could put himself in position to earn an early call-up to the majors in 2022.

Sam Clay - Steadying ship in JuneClay struck out one in a perfect inning of relief during Sunday's win over the Giants.
ImpactIt wasn't a high-leverage situation, as the Nats had a 5-0 lead when Clay worked the ninth inning, but it was still a sharp performance. The southpaw got scored upon in four straight outings to begin June but has delivered three straight scoreless appearances since, leaving him with a 4.50 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB K:BB through 20 innings on the year.

Josh Harrison - Four hits in Sunday's winHarrison went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.
ImpactIt's the veteran infielder's first multi-hit performance since May 23, which came the day after his last home run. Harrison is slashing only .214/.297/.268 in the 17 games since even after Sunday's effort, but as yet the Nats don't seem inclined to look elsewhere for help at second base.
