There are two general strategies Washington could employ. The first is to continue the process of rebuilding; the second would be to make a concerted effort to start winning again for the first time in years. They don't necessarily have to sell out for one strategy or the other, but they should at least have an idea of what the general direction of their organization is.

Chaparro should have a great opportunity to soak up a lot of the vacated playing time after Nathaniel Lowe was DFA'd last week.

The Nationals announced today that left-hander Poulin has been added to the active roster and will be making his major league debut soon.

The Nationals traded starting pitcher Michael Soroka to the Chicago Cubs for two prospects as they navigated the trade deadline and aimed for minor league depth.

Washington Nationals made significant moves by trading relievers Andrew Chafin and Luis Garcia to the Angels and later sending pitcher Michael Soroka to the Cubs. Soroka, with a 3-8 record and 4.87 ERA, was part of the effort to solidify pitching for Chicago as they aim for playoffs. In exchange, the Nationals received promising prospects Ronny Cruz and Christian Franklin from Chicago, both considered valuable assets for future development.

Michael Soroka's sinker left his hand at 89 mph, and despite the loss, he remains a focus for contending teams looking for talent before the trade deadline.

Konnor Pilkington made a strong debut for the Washington Nationals, throwing 2.0 shutout innings without allowing a baserunner and striking out 3 batters.

Rookie righty Brad Lord has emerged as a reliable player for the Washington Nationals, boasting a 3.46 ERA and 1.246 WHIP in 35 appearances this season.

Luis Garcia has signed a Major League deal with the Washington Nationals after being released by the Dodgers. He recorded a 5.27 ERA and 24 strikeouts this season.
