Sean Nolin - Coughs up three runs Nolin (0-2) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks over four innings Sunday, striking out five and taking a loss against Milwaukee.

Impact Nolin's rough afternoon started right out of the gate with Kolten Wong taking him deep for a leadoff homer on Nolin's second pitch of the game. The 31-year-old southpaw then gave up a two-run triple to Wong in the fourth. In his two big-league appearances this season, Nolin's been tagged with seven runs in as many innings while taking a loss in both. For now, it's unclear if he'll get another turn in the rotation.

Andrew Stevenson - Heads to minors The Nationals optioned Stevenson to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Having not started a game since Aug. 12, Stevenson was merely a depth outfielder and now makes way for Kyle McGowin (biceps) to return from the injured list. The 27-year-old has slashed .215/.272/.309 in 164 plate appearances this season, uninspiring numbers that don't merit a quick return to the big-league level.

Impact Guerra's latest stint with the Nationals is over after he posted a 16.50 ERA and 2.50 WHIP in six innings of relief work this month. Despite being an experienced veteran arm, he's unlikely to attract much attention on waivers given his terrible results of late. Austin Voth (COVID-19) was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move Sunday.

Lane Thomas - On base four times Saturday Thomas went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Getting the start in center field and hitting leadoff, Thomas did an exceptional job setting the table for the Nats. The 25-year-old has started three of five games since joining the Washington, all three when a southpaw was on the mound for the opposition, but he could work himself into more than just a platoon role if he keeps seizing his opportunities -- he's gone 6-for-11 to begin his tenure with the club with four walks, a double, a triple, two RBI and three runs.

Paolo Espino - Escapes with no-decision Saturday Espino didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-6 loss to the Brewers, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

Impact The outing was a mixed bag for Espino, as he tied his season high for strikeouts but failed to complete five innings once again. The right-hander also served up another homer, a first-inning solo shot by Christian Yelich, and over his last nine appearances and 35.2 innings, Espino has a 6.31 ERA fueled by a 2.52 HR/9.
