Derek Law - Moves to 60-day IL The Nationals transferred Law (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
Impact Law has been on the injured list all season due to forearm inflammation, so his move to the 60-day IL doesn't affect his return timeline and is simply a way to clear a 40-man spot for the newly activated Mason Thompson (elbow). Law restarted his rehab assignment Wednesday after being shut down with renewed forearm soreness and will likely require a few more appearances in the minors before returning to Washington.

Zach Brzykcy - Optioned to Rochester The Nationals optioned Brzykcy to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
Impact Brzykcy has been getting hit around quite a bit as of late, surrendering nine earned runs in just 3.2 innings across his last five outings. He'll head back to Triple-A in an effort to right the ship, clearing a spot in the Nationals' bullpen for Mason Thompson (elbow) to return from the IL.

Impact Thompson has spent the entire season working his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in March 2024. He gave up six earned runs over eight frames during his rehab assignment, though he threw 1.1 scoreless innings at Triple-A Rochester.
