Adríán Sanchez - Returns to Nationals Sanchez signed a minor-league deal with the Nationals on Wednesday, according to the MLB transaction log.

Víctor Arano - Joins Nationals Arano signed a minor-league deal with the Nationals on Wednesday, according to the MLB transaction log.
Impact Arano spent the entire 2021 season in Atlanta's organization at Triple-A Gwinnett. He threw 36 effective innings, punching out 45 and walking 15. If Arano can maintain that form in 2022, he should push for a bullpen role with the big-league club.

Bryce Harper's second MVP award shows that he was worthy of the hype
In winning his second MVP award, the "overrated" Bryce Harper has proven himself to be the opposite, Jake Mintz writes.NOVEMBER 19, 2021
Evan Lee - Protected from Rule 5 draft Lee was added to the Nationals' 40-man roster Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The move means Lee can't be taken in the Rule 5 draft, but he's still several steps away from pushing for a big-league roster spot. He posted a decent 4.32 ERA and a strong 31.4 percent strikeout rate in 20 starts and one relief appearance this season, but that all came at High-A Wilmington.

Donovan Casey - Joins 40-man roster Casey was added to the Nationals' 40-man roster Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The move prevents the Nationals from losing Casey in the Rule 5 draft, but it probably doesn't mean he's being considered for a spot on the Opening Day roster. He looked good in 85 games at the Double-A level on either side of a trade from the Dodgers, hitting .303/.361/.483 with 14 homers and 17 steals, but he stumbled to a .179/.245/.291 line in 38 games upon a promotion to Triple-A Rochester. He needs to conquer that level before making a push for his big-league debut.

Impact Rodriguez appeared in 14 games (one start) with Washington in 2021, struggling to a 5.92 ERA and 1.73 WHIP with a 20:17 K:BB across 24.1 innings prior to being designated for assignment and ultimately outrighted to Triple-A Rochester in August. He'll get another chance with the club in 2022 but will need to earn his way back onto the big-league roster.
