Nationals optioned RHP Paxton Schultz to Triple-A Rochester.

Schultz earns a ticket back to the minors after allowing three runs on four hits and recording only two outs in relief against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. The 28-year-old boasts an underwhelming 6.40 ERA across 32 1/3 innings of work this season.

Nationals optioned RHP Paxton Schultz to Triple-A Rochester.

Schultz earns a ticket back to the minors after allowing two runs and recording only one out during Tuesday’s bullpen meltdown against the division-rival Phillies where Washington burned through seven relievers. The Nationals will make a corresponding move leading into Wednesday’s contest.
Andrew Alvarez

WSH Starting Pitcher #54

Paxton Schultz will open for the Nationals against the Padres on Friday, with Andrew Alvarez as the bulk pitcher.

Alvarez has a 2.84 ERA in 12 2/3 innings, will get a better shot at a win with this news, and the Padres haven’t hit well at all this year. It’s hard to recommend the Alvarez streaming start, but we could definitely see it working out.
Gus Varland

WSH Relief Pitcher #47

Gus Varland logged a scoreless inning in Sunday’s 10-inning victory over the White Sox.

Varland struck out one and needed just 10 pitches to handle the bottom of the eighth, which followed seven scoreless frames from Foster Griffin. It isn’t closer usage, but Varland’s chances at the ninth-inning job increased Sunday when Clayton Beeter went to the IL with forearm soreness. Paxton Schultz eventually earned the save in extras, but Varland looks to have the inside edge in an uninspiring committee.

Nationals recalled RHP Paxton Schultz from Triple-A Rochester.

Schultz was just optioned to Triple-A Rochester last Saturday, but he’ll rejoin the Nationals’ bullpen with Clayton Beeter (forearm) landing on the injured list on Sunday. Schultz has registered a 4.50 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 7/1 K/BB ratio over eight innings in his five appearances at the big league level this season.

Nationals optioned RHP Paxton Schultz to Triple-A Rochester.

Schultz, who missed the start of the year with elbow inflammation, had allowed four runs in eight innings since coming off the IL on Apr. 7. The Nationals will bring up another arm to replace him on Sunday.

WSH Relief Pitcher #75

Nationals activated RHP Paxton Schultz off the 15-day injured list.

Schultz, 28, missed just over the minimum 15 days after being placed on the IL retroactive to March 22 with elbow inflammation. The 28-year-old takes Andre Granillo’s spot in the atrocious Nationals’ bullpen and will likely work in the middle innings.
Paxton Schultz

WSH Relief Pitcher #75

Nationals placed RHP Paxton Schultz on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to March 22, with right elbow inflammation.

No word yet regarding how much time Schultz is expected to miss but elbow issues typically result in extended absences. The 28-year-old reliever was claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays back in January after posting a serviceable 4.38 ERA across 24 2/3 innings last year at the highest level.

WSH Relief Pitcher #65

Nationals claimed RHP Paxton Schultz off waivers from the Blue Jays.

The Jays attempted to sneak Schultz through waivers following their addition of Kazuma Okamoto on Saturday, but the Nationals were ready to pounce. The 28-year-old hurler compiled a 4.38 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and a solid 28/8 K/BB ratio across 24 2/3 frames for the Blue Jays in 2025. He should have a strong chance of cracking the Nats’ Opening Day bullpen in a middle relief role.

TOR Relief Pitcher #65

Blue Jays designated RHP Paxton Schultz for assignment.

The Jays needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Kazuma Okamoto on Sunday and unfortunately for Schultz it appears as though he drew the short straw this time around. The 27-year-old hurler posted a 4.38 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and a 28/8 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 innings with the Jays in 2025. He could attract some interest on waivers with so many teams starved for quality bullpen depth.

Tanner Bibee walked five and allowed five earned runs against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Bibee managed a 28 percent Whiff rate and only allowed one hard-hit ball, but he allowed two walks, a bunt single and a 2-RBI double in consecutive order to lead off the fifth inning. Colin Holderman allowed the two inherited runners to score to stick Bibee with this final line. Bibee remains a coinflip to deliver fantasy value. He’ll try for better results against the Orioles next week.

Cubs’ right-hander Jacob Webb (forearm) is hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Webb was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Brewers after he was struck on the forearm by a line drive off the bat of Christian Yelich. Fortunately, he avoided any structural damage and is only dealing with a contusion and swelling. He’s considered day-to-day.

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for Loftin, who has functioned as the club’s primary third baseman while Maikel Garcia (hamstring) is shelved. Josh Rojas will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat seventh against Marlins’ right-hander Sandy Alcantara on Thursday.

Mets designated C Shawn Ross for assignment.

The Mets needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster after claiming Cameron Weston off of waivers from the Orioles on Thursday and Ross wound up on the outside looking in. The 26-year-old backstop could pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra depth for the Mets at Triple-A Syracuse.

Ceddanne Rafaela (quad) is not in Boston’s starting lineup on Thursday against the Orioles.

He left Wednesday’s game with the ailment. There’s no real update on how serious the injury is, but we’d imagine he’s day-to-day given nothing more serious has come out about it yet.

Adley Rutschman (elbow) is batting third in his return to the lineup against the Orioles on Thursday.

He had missed the last three games due to his hyperextended elbow. It seems likely that he will be managed pretty heavily down the stretch while dealing with the issue, but he can be started in leagues with daily transactions. Weekly leaguers could have more difficult choices ahead if Rutschman remains active but likely to miss time.

Oneil Cruz

PIT Center Fielder #15

Oneil Cruz walked three times with an RBI and a run scored in Pittsburgh’s 5-2 win over the Giants.

He added his 26th stolen base of the season in the sixth inning. It’s his second three-walk game of the season. Cruz has stuffed the stat sheet in 78 games this year, with 17 homers. If he hadn’t missed a large chunk of time, he’d probably be regarded as one of the best fantasy picks this year as he’s rebounded nicely from 2025’s .200 batting average. He’s now hitting .270/.362/.483 on the season.
