Víctor Arano - Completes 'light' bullpen sessionArano (knee) tossed 20 pitches Monday in what Nationals manager Dave Martinez described as a "light" bullpen session, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
ImpactArano should ramp up the intensity of his throwing in his subsequent workouts, but his ability to get back on the mound in any capacity is a good sign after he had been shut down from throwing for about two weeks due to the inflammation and bone bruise in his left knee. Before the injury shelved him, Arano had started to gain traction in the late innings for Washington. He maintains an unremarkable 5.01 ERA on the season, but a 22.1 K-BB% and 2.41 SIERA are better indicators of how well he's pitched across his 24 relief appearances.

Josh Smith - Takes seat MondaySmith isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.
ImpactSmith started in four of the last five games and went 2-for-12 with a run, a stolen base, four walks and three strikeouts. Charlie Culberson is starting at the hot corner and batting ninth.

Sam Clay - Recalled by WashingtonClay was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
ImpactThe southpaw hasn't appeared in the majors since late April but will rejoin the Nationals as a low-leverage reliever after Francisco Perez was sent down Monday. Clay allowed five runs in four innings over five relief appearances in the majors in April.

Francisco Perez - Heads to Triple-AThe Nationals optioned Perez to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
ImpactThe 24-year-old will surrender his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the Washington bullpen to lefty Sam Clay, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. During his two-week stint in the majors, Perez appeared in four games and gave up four earned runs on seven hits and three walks over 3.1 innings.

Paolo Espino - Getting fourth start WednesdayEspino is listed as the Nationals' starting pitcher for Wednesday's home game against the Pirates.
ImpactUnsurprisingly, Espino will make his fourth straight turn through the rotation after he worked a season-high 5.1 innings while giving up just one run his last time out Friday versus the Rangers. Through his first three starts, Espino has gone 0-1 with a 2.57 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 14 frames.

Aníbal Sánchez - Initiates rehab assignmentSanchez (neck) made his first rehab start Thursday for the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, striking out two over three innings while allowing one earned r...
ImpactThe appearance was Sanchez's first in affiliated ball since 2020, after he opted not sign with a team in 2021 before re-signing with the Nationals on a minor-league deal in March. The 38-year-old was expected to vie for a back-end spot in Washington's Opening Day rotation, but a cervical neck impingement forced him to the injured list and kept him throwing for one month. After completing his throwing progression, Sanchez is finally pitching in games again, but he'll likely need at least two more starts in the minors to get fully stretched out. Once he makes his return from the 60-day IL, Sanchez could still be in good shape to claim a rotation spot for Washington, especially if Stephen Strasburg (rib) is still on the shelf.

Josh Rogers - Kicks off rehab assignmentRogers (shoulder) began a rehab assignment Saturday with the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate and gave up four runs (two earned) over three innings in his f...
ImpactRogers is expected to ramp up for a bulk-relief role with the Nationals during his rehab assignment, and he already looks to be well on his way to getting stretched out after the three-inning appearance. The lefty, who has been on the 15-day injured list since June 3 with a shoulder impingement, may only need one or two more minor-league appearances before the Nationals activate him.
