Mason Thompson has been activated from the 60-day injured list by the Nationals, while Zach Brzykcy has been optioned to Triple-A. Thompson made his MLB debut in 2021 and has been a league average reliever with a career 4.57 ERA. His best performance came in 2022 with a 2.92 ERA, but his ERA rose to 5.50 in 2023 after Tommy John surgery. He rehabbed and recently pitched two scoreless innings in Triple-A before his return. A strong performance could allow Thompson into the late-inning mix for the team.
The Nationals have activated right-hander Mason Thompson from the 60-day injured list. Zach Brzykcy was optioned to Triple-A to make room on the active roster.
Thompson, a third-round pick by the Padres in 2016, has generally been a league average reliever during his time with Washington, posting a 4.57 ERA.
Despite a strong 2.92 ERA in 2022, Thompson's ERA ballooned to 5.50 in 2023 after undergoing Tommy John surgery last March.
Kyle Finnegan is the Nationals' closer, but a strong performance from Thompson could allow him to work his way into the club's late-inning mix.
