Nationals RHP PJ Poulin cleared outright waivers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester.

Poulin is eligible for Minor League free agency, so he will become a free agent. The 30-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list in July with a left flexor strain and later moved to the 60-day injured list. He had a 2.70 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 25/21 K/BB ratio across 36 2/3 innings in his 35 appearances.

Nationals transferred LHP PJ Poulin from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Poulin’s move is a procedural move to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for recently-acquired Yovanny Cruz. The 29-year-old southpaw cannot return from the injured list until September 16 with this placement.

PJ Poulin tossed two scoreless innings to convert a save against the Orioles on Sunday.

The Nationals have been searching for answers in the ninth inning, with four different relievers being charged with a blown save this week. Poulin stepped in to start the eighth inning with a two-run lead and tossed a clean frame before returning for the ninth. He worked around a walk, inducing a ground ball double play to end the game with his third save.

PJ Poulin pitched two scoreless innings while striking out one in Friday’s loss to the Rays.

Poulin got the nod as the opener for Friday’s game after Cade Cavalli (illness) was scratched from his scheduled start. Poulin was effective in his limited outing, allowing just one hit over two scoreless innings while also striking out a batter. Poulin has made nine starts as an opener this season and has allowed just three earned runs over his last 14 innings pitched, dating back to May.

Cade Cavalli has been scratched from Friday’s start against the Rays.

PJ Poulin will open for the Nationals. It’s plausible that Cavalli has his turn pushed back rather than outright skipped given it’s an illness, but we’ll probably get more guidance on that later tonight.
