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 recalled RHP Paxton Schultz from Triple-A Rochester

Schultz was used as an opener last week and allowed two runs while getting just one out. He is not on fantasy radars in any format.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
