DJ Herz - Allows one run in loss Herz (4-9) took the loss against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks with three strikeouts over five innings.
Impact Herz threw 52 of 81 pitches for strikes and yielded just one run in the third inning, but the Nationals' offense wasn't able to muster any support for the rookie. Despite a seven-run disaster in his most recent outing, the southpaw yielded just two earned runs across 15 innings in his other three September starts. He'll finish his first season with a 4.16 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and an impressive 10.76 K/9 across 88.2 innings.

Mitchell Parker - Works five scoreless frames Parker did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to Kansas City, pitching six scoreless innings while allowing five hits and two walks. He struck out five.
Impact The rookie left-hander entered this outing with an unsightly 5.59 ERA in 19.1 September frames and stymied the ice cold Royals over his 91 pitches. Although he's struggled to contain lineups, Parker has been a consistent source of strikeouts, as he notched his eighth start out of his last nine with five or more Ks. Overall, the 24-year-old now sports a 4.29 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 133:43 K:BB across 151 innings this season. Parker is not currently scheduled to make another start this season but may appear out of the bullpen this weekend.

Stone Garrett - Back in big leagues The Nationals recalled Garrett from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Impact Garrett was a useful short-side platoon player for the Nationals in 2023 when he posted an .839 OPS against left-handed pitching, but he's spent all of 2024 in the minors until now and managed just a .681 OPS. The 28-year-old could be sent back down when Andres Chaparro returns from the paternity list later this week.
