"The Nationals optioned Brady House to AAA Rochester, abruptly ending the former 1st-rounder's leash on the big league roster, where he had been since winning the Opening Day job out of spring training. He had been viewed as the future at third base before the new front office took over, but it will be interesting to see the roster fallout from this shocking demotion, as he was a popular breakout pick before this season."
The Nationals lost to the Mets in extra innings, finishing 16-7 after running out of time and pitching arms. The game included a late Nationals rally attempt, with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th before CJ Abrams struck out to end the threat. In the 12th inning, Jerbit Vivas had to pitch as the Nationals’ bullpen was strained, with Paxton Schultz nearing 30 pitches on his third straight day. During the game, Dylan Crews’ call-up was announced, but the corresponding roster move was unexpected. Brady House was optioned to Triple-A Rochester, ending his Opening Day roster spot and raising questions about roster fallout. House had struggled early, with improved recent hitting metrics but continued defensive problems.
