Jake Irvin gives up five runs in loss to Braves

Jake Irvin

WSH Starting Pitcher #27

Player Stats

Jake Irvin struggled in a losing effort against the Braves on Thursday night, surrendering five runs on three hits in his five-plus innings.

Irvin struck out one batter on the evening while issuing a pair of walks. He blanked the Braves through the first three innings, then served up a solo homer to Ronald Acuna Jr. in the fourth and a two-run blast to Mike Yastrzemski in the fifth. Irvin then started the sixth with a pair of walks before turning the ball over to the bullpen — and both inherited runners came around to score. Irvin generated five whiffs on 61 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of just 16 percent. He’ll try to improve upon his 5.56 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and a 59/24 K/BB ratio (56 2/3 innings) when he takes on the Phillies in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

Nationals activated RHP Jake Irvin (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list.

This was reported yesterday but is now official. Irvin has missed the last two months with a shoulder injury and has a 5.23 ERA over 51 2/3 innings in 11 starts this season. He is not a recommended fantasy option.

WSH Starting Pitcher #27

Nationals manager Blake Butera confirmed that Jake Irvin (shoulder) will be activated from the injured list to start Thursday’s game against the Braves.

Irvin returns to Washington’s rotation after missing nearly two months recovering from a shoulder strain. The 29-year-old righty will face a tough test on the road in Atlanta and holds a pedestrian 5.23 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 58/22 K/BB ratio across 51 2/3 innings over 11 starts this season.

Jake Irvin (shoulder) fired three shutout innings on Monday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Irvin struck out three and allowed just one hit in his first rehab outing. The 29-year-old has been out with a right shoulder strain since late May. He’ll presumably require a couple weeks to sufficiently build up his pitch count and stamina before returning to Washington’s rotation sometime in early-to-mid August.

Jake Irvin (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment on Monday in the Florida Complex League.

Irvin has been sidelined since May 24th when he was placed on the injured list with a right shoulder strain. He was recently moved to the 60-day IL, but that had no bearing on his return timeline. The 29-year-old will make one start this week in the FCL while the affiliates are on a break and then move to affiliate ball next week. He will likely need to take most of his 30-day rehab window to build his pitch count back up, but he should be back in the Nationals’ rotation by the middle of August.
Jake Irvin

WSH Starting Pitcher #27

Nationals transferred RHP Jake Irvin (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

He was likely a few weeks from making it back to the bigs anyway after just facing hitters for the first time on Wednesday, so the transfer won’t materially impact his timeline. Irvin is returning from a right shoulder strain. The move frees up a 40-man roster spot for Tom Cosgrove.

Jake Irvin (shoulder) faced hitters for the first time since landing on the injured list.

Irvin was placed on the injured list on May 24th with a right shoulder strain. He faced hitters on the field on Wednesday and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as next week if his arm responds well to the live batting practice session.

Jake Irwin (shoulder) remains shut down from throwing.

Nationals manager Blake Butera told reporters Irwin is going through strengthening exercises, but has yet to begin a throwing progression after hitting the injured list with a shoulder strain back on May 24. The 29-year-old is likely facing an extended absence given the nature of the injury, but remains without a definitive return timeline.

Nationals placed RHP Jake Irvin on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.

Irvin sustained the injury during Saturday’s start against the Braves. He underwent an MRI exam after that outing, the results of which are not yet known. PJ Poulin was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Jake Irvin will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after leaving Saturday’s start against Atlanta.

Irvin threw five no-hit innings without allowing a run, but tightness in his shoulder caused the right-hander to exit. The 29-year-old’s status for his next scheduled start and the foreseeable future will largely be determined by the results of the imaging.

WSH Starting Pitcher #27

Jake Irvin left Saturday’s game against the Braves with an apparent injury.

Irvin was dealing before exiting; throwing five no-hitting innings while issuing just a walk and striking out seven. The 29-year-old exited with a trainer, and there should be an update on the specifics of the injury before the end of Saturday’s game.

Luis Robert Jr. delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning on Thursday, leading the Mets to a 4-2 victory over the visiting Marlins.

The Mets got a two-out rally started in the eighth as Bo Bichette doubled and Carson Benge followed with a single and a stolen base. Robert then smacked a single into left field that plated both of them, proving to be the difference in the ballgame. He finished the night 1-for-4 and is now slashing a disappointing .202/.300/.333 with four homers, 12 RBI and two stolen bases in his first 130 plate appearances with the Mets.

The 23-year-old rookie outfielder has been a bright spot in an otherwise bleak season for the Mets, slashing .261/.324/.391 with 11 homers, 41 RBI and 17 stolen bases.

Devin Williams closed out the Marlins on Thursday evening, protecting a two-run lead to tally his 16th save of the season.

As always, Williams made things interesting in the ninth inning by allowing a leadoff walk to Heriberto Hernandez. He battled back though to strike out Griffin Conine and Jakob Marsee before getting Javier Sanoja to pop out to second base to end it. Williams continues to bring his ratios down as the season progresses, now sporting a still unsavory 4.29 ERA and 1.63 WHIP to go with his 16 saves in 19 attempts.

Pérez generated 16 swings and misses on 97 offerings in the contest — five on his slider — while posting a CSW of 30 percent. He’ll bring a 3.44 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 112/40 K/BB ratio (104 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Braves in Atlanta.
