Takes loss despite quality start Parker (2-1) took the loss against the Pirates on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk while striking out six across six innings.

Impact Parker came out of the gate hot with four-straight punchouts, and after getting out of a second-inning jam he entered the fifth frame without allowing a run. The 25-year-old southpaw's shutout bid came to an abrupt halt when Henry Davis took Parker deep to left field for a 392-foot solo homer. It was the only blemish to what was otherwise a strong showing for Parker, but he was tagged with the loss as the Nationals' bats fell silent against Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter. Parker has logged quality starts in all four outings this season and has a 1.85 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 16:9 K:BB over 24.1 innings. He's slated to take on the Orioles at home next week, when he'll look to log a fifth consecutive quality start.

Impact Parker started Friday's game out strong by retiring 12 of the first 15 batters faced. However, he ran into trouble in the fifth inning, during which he yielded three hits and a hit-by-pitch that brought home four runs for the Marlins, though one of them was unearned due to a throwing error. Parker managed to get through the sixth inning without much issue to record his third straight quality start and finished tossing 96 pitches (66 strikes), 17 first-pitch strikes and 14 whiffs. The 25-year-old southpaw has begun the season with a 1.96 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 18.1 innings. Parker's next start is slated for next week on the road against the Pirates, when he'll look to improve his record to 3-0.

Logs quality start in win Parker (2-0) earned the win against the Diamondbacks on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and four walks with two strikeouts over six innings.

Impact Parker tossed five scoreless frames before surrendering a run in his final inning, earning his second straight quality start despite some command issues. The southpaw needed 82 pitches to get through six innings and has now opened the season with wins over two high-powered lineups in the Diamondbacks and Phillies. He'll carry a 0.73 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 7:6 K:BB over 12.1 innings into a road start against the Marlins next weekend.

Goes 6.1 scoreless in win Parker (1-0) earned the win against the Phillies on Sunday, allowing seven hits and two walks with five strikeouts over 6.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Parker worked around frequent traffic on the basepaths to contain a potent Phillies lineup. Last season, the southpaw posted stark splits, with a 2.65 ERA over 15 home starts compared to a 6.61 ERA in 14 road outings. That trend continued Sunday, and he's set to take the mound at Nationals Park again next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Favorite for rotation spot Parker appears to be in the lead for the Nationals' fifth starter job, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Impact The 25-year-old southpaw worked six innings in a minor-league game Thursday as he gets stretched out for the regular season. Parker has merely been competent this spring, posting a 3.65 ERA and 8:4 K:BB over 12.1 Grapefruit League innings, but that's been good enough to move ahead of DJ Herz, who is still trying to get comfortable on the mound after tweaking his mechanics in the offseason, and Shinnosuke Ogasawara, who simply hasn't looked capable of retiring big-league hitters. Parker delivered a 4.29 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 133:43 K:BB over 151 innings in his MLB debut in 2024, and his minor-league numbers suggest he might have another level he can reach as he consistently posted K/9 rates above 10.0 as he moved up the ladder.

Hurls four frames in spring game Parker allowed two runs on four hits while striking out four across four innings during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Marlins.

Impact Parker was scratched from his last spring start after feeling stiffness in his neck, but he gained clearance to toss a side session Friday and ultimately took the bump for Monday's exhibition. It's a great sign that Parker was able to eat up four innings in his latest start, likely indicating there isn't much concern about his availability for the start of the regular season.

Throws bullpen session Parker (neck) threw a bullpen session Friday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Parker had to be scratched from a scheduled appearance in Wednesday's Grapefruit League against the Marlins due to neck stiffness. However, he appears to be feeling better and should be cleared to return to game action soon. Parker is competing for a spot in the Nationals' rotation.

Dealing with neck stiffness Parker didn't pitch as scheduled Wednesday due to neck stiffness, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Manager Dave Martinez said Parker initially reported the issue Tuesday and is now feeling a bit better, but the team decided to keep him out of action Wednesday as a precaution. The Nats will likely wait until he's back to 100 percent before sending him back on the mound in a Grapefruit League game.

Works five scoreless frames Parker did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's extra-innings loss to Kansas City, pitching six scoreless innings while allowing five hits and two walks. He struck out five.

Impact The rookie left-hander entered this outing with an unsightly 5.59 ERA in 19.1 September frames and stymied the ice cold Royals over his 91 pitches. Although he's struggled to contain lineups, Parker has been a consistent source of strikeouts, as he notched his eighth start out of his last nine with five or more Ks. Overall, the 24-year-old now sports a 4.29 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 133:43 K:BB across 151 innings this season. Parker is not currently scheduled to make another start this season but may appear out of the bullpen this weekend.

Surrenders five runs in loss Parker (7-10) took the loss Tuesday against the Mets, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out one.

Impact Parker labored through this 78-pitch outing that included allowing four runs on three hits and two walks in the third. The New York lineup appeared to have the rookie southpaw's number all evening, as Parker generated a paltry four whiffs and has allowed five runs to the Mets in both his starts against them. Overall, he's now pitched to a 4.44 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 128:41 K:BB across 146 innings this season. The 24-year-old Parker is currently slated to make his next start against the Royals at home next week.

Quality start in no-decision Parker came away with the no-decision in Thursday's loss to the Marlins. He allowed two runs (zero earned) on three hits and five strikeouts.

Impact Parker was fantastic Thursday, only allowing three baserunners and two unearned runs while pitching into the seventh inning for the seventh time this season. Parker has now recorded 11 quality starts in his rookie campaign, and five of those have come over his last eight starts. The 24-year-old hasn't missed a start since the middle of April and has racked up 127 strikeouts with a 4.24 ERA over 142.1 innings.
