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.

Career-high 13 strikeouts in win Cavalli (5-4) earned the win against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing one unearned run on one hit and no walks with 13 strikeouts over seven innings.

Impact Cavalli was dominant after allowing an unearned run in the first inning, striking out a career-high 13 batters while retiring the final 19 he faced. He generated a whopping 25 swinging strikes on 100 pitches, including 15 with his four-seam fastball. While it marked the first time this season he did not allow an earned run, the 27-year-old has now held opponents to three earned runs or fewer in 16 of 18 outings. He'll take a 3.69 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 102:29 K:BB across 90.1 innings into a home matchup with the Astros next week.

Settles for no-decision Cavalli took a no-decision Thursday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out seven.

Impact The quality start was the first of the month for Cavalli, whose seven punchouts also marked his highest total in June so far. The 27-year-old right-hander was in line for the win, exiting the game with a 5-2 lead before the seventh inning, but Washington's much-maligned bullpen blew its 24th save of the season Thursday. Cavalli will take a pedestrian 4.00 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 89:29 K:BB over 83.1 innings into his next scheduled outing in Boston against a Red Sox team that's struggled mightily at home in 2026.

Labors in no-decision Cavalli did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rays, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks with one strikeout over 2.2 innings.

Impact Cavalli had his start pushed back due to an illness Friday and struggled out of the gate, loading the bases in each of the first three innings and failing to escape the third in his shortest outing since April 13. The 27-year-old's velocity was slightly down on his three most-used offerings, so perhaps he was still feeling less than 100 percent. He owns a 4.07 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 82:28 K:BB across 77.1 innings this season and will try to rebound in a home matchup against the Phillies next week.

Starting Saturday Cavalli (illness) will start Saturday's game against the Rays.

Impact Cavalli was initially slated to start Friday's contest but was scratched before the game due to an illness. Now feeling better, the 27-year-old will start Saturday with the benefit of an extra day of rest. He'll be looking to turn things around after posting a 5.40 ERA and 1.33 WHIP in 15 innings across his first three starts of the month.

Scratched Friday Cavalli was scratched from his scheduled start against the Rays on Friday due to an illness.

Impact Cavalli was penciled in to start Friday's series opener but instead won't be available due to the unspecified illness. It's unclear if he'll have his full turn through the rotation skipped or if his start will just be pushed back a few days. PJ Poulin will start in Cavalli's place in what's now likely to be a bullpen game.
