Machado figures to throw an inning or two given he hasn't pitched more than two innings during a big-league appearance this year.

Tanner Rainey - Called up as 27th man Rainey was recalled by the Nationals to serve as the 27th man for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rainey will provide a fresh arm out of the bullpen in Wednesday's nightcap after the Nationals and Mets concluded a suspended game in the afternoon. The right-hander has been in the minors since the beginning of August, but he's posted a 7.20 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 25 innings across 31 relief appearances in the big leagues this year.

Jackson Rutledge - Suffers setback with blister Low-A Fredericksburg returned Rutledge (finger) to the 7-day injured list Wednesday after he suffered a recurrence of a blister on his pitching hand during his start Tuesday, Mark...
Impact Rutledge was on the shelf for about two weeks due to the blister before gaining clearance to start Tuesday's contest, but he faced only five hitters before bowing out of the contest. The Nationals could opt to shut Rutledge down for a longer period of time following the setback, which may make it a challenge for the 22-year-old to make another appearance before season's end. Through three starts with Fredricksburg this season, Rutledge has worked 9.1 innings has given up six earned runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out 13.

Stephen Strasburg - Transferred to 60-day IL Strasburg (neck) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Strasburg's move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural after he underwent season-ending neurogenic thoracic outlet surgery at the end of July. The Nationals are hopeful that the right-hander will be able to return in time for the start of spring training in 2022, but he's been limited to just seven starts across the last two seasons while battling injuries.

Sam Clay - Optioned to Triple-A Clay was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Clay had allowed an earned run in 1.1 innings across his last three outings, and he had recorded a 10.13 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 5.1 innings across nine appearances since the All-Star break. The southpaw will attempt to right the ship in the minors, while left-hander Sean Nolin will take his place in the bullpen.

Sean Nolin - Contract selected by Nationals Nolin's contract was selected by the Nationals on Wednesday.
Impact Nolin began the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Rochester after he played for the Seibu Lions of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball last season. He's posted a 3.78 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 52.1 innings across 12 appearances (nine starts), and the 31-year-old lefty could be an option to start or eat innings in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Mets. The Nationals optioned reliever Sam Clay to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Alex Avila - Returns to Nationals Avila (COVID-19, calf) returned to the Nationals on Tuesday but will remain on the 10-day injured list for the time being as he continues to recover from bilateral calf strains, Je...
Impact Avila has been away from the team since July 29 as a result of COVID-19 protocols. He's gained clearance to rejoin the Nationals, though he still has a ways to go in working his way back from the calf issue. The veteran backstop remains without a clear recovery timeline, so it appears that a late-August activation could be a best-case scenario at this point.
