Impact Cavalli made a remark to Boston's Willson Contreras after striking him out, which instigated a brawl between the two clubs. The righty getting his suspension reduced to five games will cost him some salary but not any starts, as he remains lined up to take the ball Saturday against the Yankees in his final start of the first half.

Battles dehydration during start Cavalli acknowledged after Sunday's 11-5 loss to the Pirates that he dealt with dehydration during his start, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal reports. "It was a weird thing," Cavalli...

Impact After turning in a 13-strikeout gem and throwing a career-high 100 pitches in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday, Cavalli was unable to replicate that dominant form in his second start of the week. The high temperatures in Washington, D.C. appeared to take an early toll on Cavalli, who saw his fastball velocity drop from 97.6 mph in the first inning to 96.1 mph in the second inning and 94.2 mph in the third. Cavalli was able to stay in the game after a visit on the mound from manager Blake Butera and a team trainer, but he was pulled after walking the next batter he faced. The right-hander ended up taking a no-decision, finishing the afternoon with four runs allowed (three earned) on six hits and two walks across 2.1 innings and 63 pitches. While Cavalli should be rehydrated and ready to go when his turn in the rotation comes up again during next weekend's series against the Yankees, he's still awaiting the results of his appeal of the seven-game suspension he received last week for his role in the benches-clearing incident that took place during his start against Boston. If the appeal process is completed within the next few days and the ban is upheld, Cavalli wouldn't pitch again until after the All-Star break.

Impact Fresh off striking out a career-high 13 batters while yielding just one hit over seven innings in his previous start Tuesday in Boston, Cavalli was unable to keep the momentum going. He needed 63 pitches to record his seven outs, and seemed to be pitching through an injury during the start. His velocity was down from its usual levels throughout the afternoon, and he was visited on the mound by the Nationals' athletic trainer at one point during the second inning before leaving the game just a few minutes later. Expect manager Blake Butera to shed light on Cavalli's condition when he address the media following Sunday's game.

Next start moved up to Sunday Cavalli will start for the Nationals against the Pirates on Sunday, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

Impact Cavalli was initially slated to make his next turn in the rotation Monday against the Astros, but he will take the mound for the Nationals on Sunday instead of Miles Mikolas, the latter of whom will likely start in the series opener against Houston. Cavalli is appealing a seven-game suspension that he received from MLB on Thursday for his altercation with Boston's Willson Contreras on Tuesday. Cavalli has a 3.69 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 102:29 K:BB across 90.1 innings this season.

Impact Major League Baseball issued bans for Cavalli and teammate Miles Mikolas (five games), as well as Red Sox players Willson Contreras (seven games) and Nate Eaton (three games) for their roles in a benches-clearing incident that occurred Tuesday. Cavalli's suspension was set to begin with Friday's game against the Pirates had he accepted the seven-game ban, but the 27-year-old will remain active while the appeal process is ongoing. Cavalli will tentatively line up for a two-start week to close out the Nationals' first-half schedule, with the right-hander expected to face the Astros on Monday before taking the hill the following Sunday against the Yankees in the last game prior to the All-Star break.
