Ineffective in return Irvin (2-5) took the loss Thursday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on three hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He struck out one.

Impact Irvin cruised through three scoreless innings initially, but he wasn't able to record an out in the sixth frame after issuing a pair of free passes. The right-hander missed over two months of action after working his way back from a right shoulder strain, so he likely had some rust to shake off in his first appearance at the major-league level since late May. Irvin is set to take a lackluster 5.56 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 59:24 K:BB over 56.2 innings into a tough road matchup against the division-rival Phillies.

Activated ahead of Thursday's start The Nationals activated Irvin (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Irvin is slated to rejoin the Nationals' rotation with a start Thursday in Atlanta. It will be his first outing at the big-league level since late May, as Irvin has been working his way back from a right shoulder strain. Irvin made three rehab starts and topped out at 58 pitches, so he will be limited from a workload perspective Thursday.

Impact Irvin has been shelved since late May while working his way back from a right shoulder strain. He pitched well in three rehab starts, covering 11.1 shutout frames with a 12:1 K:BB and just two hits allowed. Irvin authored a 5.23 ERA in 11 starts before getting hurt, and his leash for a rotation spot should not be long.

On cusp of IL return Irvin (shoulder) struck out four and allowed one walk and no hits over 3.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start Friday with Double-A Harrisburg. He also hit a batter.

Impact Irvin built up to 63 pitches (38 strikes) in the third start of his rehab assignment, during which he's posted a stellar 12:0 K:BB while permitting just two hits in 11.1 scoreless frames between stops with Harrisburg and the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. Per MLB.com, Irvin returned to Washington to throw a bullpen session Monday, and while the club has yet to announce his next step, he appears likely to return from the 60-day injured list to start Thursday's series opener in Atlanta. Washington has already named its starters for the final three games of the series but is listing Thursday as "TBA," according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Covers 4.2 innings in rehab start Irvin (shoulder) struck out five and allowed one hit and no walks over 4.2 scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg.

Impact Making the second start of his rehab assignment, Irvin built up to 51 pitches (35 strikes) while facing one batter over the minimum. The right-hander has looked strong in the minors thus far as he works his way back from a shoulder strain, as he's yet to allow a run and has posted an 8:0 K:BB across 7.2 innings. He'll likely need to get stretched out to around 70-to-80 pitches over the course of one or two more rehab starts before returning from the 60-day injured list.

Shifted to 60-day injured list The Nationals transferred Irvin (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list July 10.

Impact Coming back from a right shoulder strain, Irvin began a rehab assignment Monday with three scoreless innings in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. Irvin will need additional rehab appearances, likely at a higher affiliate, before the Nationals consider re-inserting him into their rotation.

Starts up rehab assignment Irvin (shoulder) struck out three and gave up one hit and no walks over three scoreless innings Monday in a rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Impact Making his first appearance in a game since May 23 following an extended recovery from a right shoulder strain, Irvin looked sharp while facing off a lineup consisting mostly of teenaged hitters. He'll presumably shift his rehab assignment to a higher level this weekend when the Nationals' full-season affiliates are back in action following the All-Star break and will aim to push up his pitch count. Prior to landing on the injured list, Irvin had posted a solid 58:22 K:BB over 51.2 innings, but an elevated BABIP (.304) and low strand rate (63.4 percent) played a part in inflating his ERA (5.23) and WHIP (1.35).

Cleared to face hitters Irvin (shoulder) is slated to face live hitters in batting practice Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

Impact If all goes well during Irvin's upcoming throwing session, he could be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment coming out of the All-Star break. Irvin has been shelved since May 24 due to a right shoulder strain and will likely require multiple starts in the minors to build up his pitch count before re-entering the Washington rotation.
