Struggles versus Diamondbacks Irvin did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over four innings against Arizona. He struck out one.

Impact After bursting onto the scene with one run allowed across his first two starts (10.2 innings), Irvin has slowed up considerably, piling up three losses with an 8.85 ERA and a 15:13 K/BB over 20.1 innings (five starts) since. Though he has matched up against some powerful offenses in the Mets, Padres and Dodgers over that five start stretch, Irvin hasn't shown much to give managers hope for a turnaround. He is lined up for another tough start on the road against Atlanta this weekend.

Falters against Dodgers Irvin (1-3) took the loss Tuesday versus the Dodgers, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings.

Impact Irvin contained his struggles to the second and third innings, but the damage was too much for the Nationals to overcome. He's lost three of his last four outings, and this was just the second time in six starts Irvin's been able to finish five frames. He's at a 5.67 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 22:17 K:BB through 27 innings. With a 5.7 BB/9 and four home runs surrendered in his last three appearances, there's not much to like with the right-hander. He's projected for a home start versus the Diamondbacks in his next outing.

Lasts four innings Thursday Irvin did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks over 4 innings against San Diego. He struck out four.

Impact It's a step in the right direction for Irvin after he allowed 10 runs in 7.1 innings over his previous two outings. Still, the rookie right-hander only made it through four innings after throwing 76 pitches. Irvin is 1-2 with a 5.32 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 19:16 K:BB through his first five major-league starts (22 innings).

Mauled by Tigers Irvin (1-2) took the loss Friday, coughing up six runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks over 2.2 innings as the Nationals were downed 8-6 by the Tigers. He struck out one.

Impact It was a brutal outing for the rookie right-hander, who served up two homers to a light-hitting Detroit lineup that wound up going yard four times in total on the night. Irvin now carries a 5.50 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 15:12 K:BB through 18 innings over his first four big-league starts, but the Nats don't have any clearly better rotation options in the minors. If he gets another turn, it will likely come at home next week against the Padres.

Analysis | Jake Irvin is an outlier for the Nationals. Here's why. Before Irvin was promoted in early May, the Nationals spent a month of the season without a player they drafted.

Earns win in scoreless outing Irvin (1-0) earned the win Monday, allowing four hits and three walks over 6.1 scoreless innings in a 5-1 win over the Giants. He struck out five.

Impact Irvin has now allowed just one run over 10.2 innings this year. The rookie has started his big league career off well after spending four and a half years working up the ranks in Washington's farm system. However, this is a very small sample size, and fantasy managers would be better off watching him develop a bit more before fully trusting him.

Irvin's first MLB win helps Nationals beat Giants 5-1

Rookie Jake Irvin struck out five in 6 1/3 innings and earned his first career victory, leading the Washington Nationals to a 5-1 win over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night

MAY 9, 2023 • Associated Press

Jake Irvin gets first big league win in Nats' 5-1 victory in San Francisco The rookie right-hander lasted into the seventh inning and didn't allow a run.

MAY 9, 2023 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Getting another start Irvin is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Giants at Oracle Park, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact After limiting the Cubs to one earned run on two hits and four walks over 4.1 innings in a no-decision in his MLB debut last Wednesday, Irvin will be rewarded with at least one more turn through the rotation. Whether he sticks with the Nationals beyond Monday's outing will likely hinge on how he performs in San Francisco. If he does acquit himself well against the Giants, Irvin would likely line up for two-start week, with his second outing likely to come next Sunday versus the Mets in Washington, D.C.

MAY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain on MLB roster Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Thursday that Irvin will stay on the major-league roster for now, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Martinez wouldn't fully commit to Irvin getting another start, but the 26-year-old right-hander probably earned it after delivering 4.1 innings of one-run ball in his MLB debut Wednesday versus the Cubs. If the Nats stay on turn and Irvin does indeed remain a normal part of the rotation, his second major-league outing would likely be on the road early next week in San Francisco.

Gives up one run in MLB debut Irvin did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing one run on two hits and four walks across 4.1 innings during a 2-1 win over the Cubs. He struck out three.

Impact Irvin was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday and replaced Chad Kuhl (foot) in the Nationals' starting rotation. The rookie struggled to find his command early, hitting Nico Hoerner and walking Ian Happ before surrendering a two-out, RBI single to Seiya Suzuki in the first inning. However, that was the only blemish on the night for Irving, who was replaced in the fifth with one out and runners on first and second. The four walks were a bit concerning for the 26-year-old, who posted a 1.54 WHIP over 22.1 innings at Triple-A, but he likely did enough in his MLB debut to earn at least one more start while Kuhl is on the 15-day injured list.

Called up for start The Nationals recalled Irvin from Triple-A Rochester ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Cubs.

Impact Just as manager Dave Martinez said would be the case following Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Cubs, Irvin will step into the rotation Wednesday for what will be his MLB debut. The 26-year-old right-hander supplied a 5.64 ERA and 1.54 WHIP while striking out 20 over 22.1 innings at Rochester, but he could nonetheless have a chance to stick around as the Nationals' No. 5 starter with a solid showing against the Cubs.

Starting Wednesday against Cubs Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters after Tuesday's game against the Cubs that Irvin will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to make the start against Chicago on Wednes...

Impact Irvin will be making his MLB debut in the start against the Cubs on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has made five starts and thrown 22.1 innings for Rochester with a 5.64 ERA and 20:11 K:BB ratio. The Nationals have already sent down Cory Abbott to make room for Irvin on the roster. Whether Irvin makes multiple starts for Washington will be determined in part by how he pitches against the Cubs come Wednesday.

MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down to Triple-A Washington optioned Irvin to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Irvin will head to Triple-A after splitting last season between High- and Double-A. He was added to the 40-man roster over the offseason and could push for a debut at some point in 2023.
