Rogelio Armenteros - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Released by Nationals The Nationals released Armenteros on Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The righty appeared in 10 games for Triple-A Rochester this season, posting a 6.08 ERA and 42:25 K:BB in 40 innings. He hasn't pitched at that level since June 29, though, as he's been out since then with an injury. Armenteros threw a scoreless inning Saturday in the Florida Complex League, but he's likely too early in the rehab process to draw interest from MLB teams this season. He hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2019, when he had a 4.00 ERA in five games with the Astros.

Outrighted to Triple-A Armenteros cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Armenteros was designated for assignment earlier in the week and will remain in the organization after going unclaimed on waivers. The 26-year-old has been pitching at Triple-A all season and has a 5.83 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 31:19 K:BB over 29.1 innings (seven starts).

Designated for assignment Armenteros was designated for assignment Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Armenteros recorded a respectable 4.00 ERA in his 18-inning debut back in 2019 but has failed to crack the active roster since then. He missed last season due to elbow issues and has struggled to a 5.83 ERA in seven starts for Triple-A Rochester this season. The move clears space on the 40-man roster for the Nationals to select Justin Miller's contract.

Erratic control early on Armenteros (arm) has posted a 7.71 ERA, 2.31 WHIP and 10:13 K:BB across 9.1 innings through his first three starts of the season with Triple-A Rochester.

Impact After missing all of the 2020 season while recovering from elbow surgery, Armenteros reported to spring training with Washington at full health, only to get shut down for a period of time soon after with right arm soreness. The injury took Armenteros out of contention for a spot in the big-league rotation, but he was able to regain enough health to join the Triple-A affiliate for the start of the minor-league season. The early results with Rochester haven't been encouraging for the 26-year-old, who will need to show improved control in his subsequent outings before the Nationals consider calling him up.

Sent to minors Armenteros (arm) was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The 26-year-old was shut down in early March after experiencing right arm soreness and was unable to return to Grapefruit League action over the past few weeks. Armenteros sat out the 2020 campaign after having a bone spur removed before the season, and he was claimed off waivers by the Nationals in December. He should provide organizational depth at Triple-A.

Cleared to throw again Armenteros (arm) was cleared to resume a throwing program Monday, Maria Torres of The Athletic reports.

Impact Armenteros was shut down last week after experiencing some arm soreness, but a few days of rest was apparently all he needed to address the issue. The brief shutdown will still put him behind the Nationals' other pitchers, so Armenteros' chances of breaking camp as a member of the big-league rotation appear to have taken a hit.

Managing arm soreness Armenteros has been shut down for at least a few days due to right arm soreness, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact The 26-year-old has been mentioned as a candidate for the fifth spot in Washington's starting rotation, but he's battling arm soreness early in camp. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but any absence will make it more difficult for Armenteros to state his case for a spot on the Opening Day roster.

Throwing bullpen Saturday Armenteros (elbow) will throw off the bullpen mound Saturday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Armenteros sat out the entire 2020 season after he had a bone spur removed from his elbow in March and was non-tendered by the Astros during the offseason. If he's fully healthy, the right-hander should compete for a job on the major-league pitching staff heading into the 2021 campaign. Armenteros has served mainly as a starter in the past but could also settle for a bullpen role with the Nationals.

Scooped up by Nats The Nationals claimed Armenteros (elbow) off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Monday, Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic reports.

Impact Armenteros was non-tendered by the Astros earlier this offseason after missing the entire 2020 season while recovering from elbow surgery. The Diamondbacks initially claimed the right-hander off waivers, but he spent just over two weeks on their roster before being scooped up by Washington. The right-hander should be back to full health for spring training, when he'll most likely be competing for a spot in the Triple-A Fresno rotation. Armenteros previously made five appearances at the big-league level with Houston in 2019, posting a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 18 innings.

Heading to Arizona Armenteros (elbow) was claimed off waivers by the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Impact The 26-year-old was recently removed from Houston's 40-man roster but will now receive an opportunity in Arizona. Armenteros missed the 2020 season while recovering from March elbow surgery. The 26-year-old made his big-league debut in 2019 and had a 4.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB across 18 innings (five appearances).

NOVEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Continuing rehab Armenteros (elbow) is still in rehab from March elbow surgery but could be cleared before the end of the season, Jake Kaplan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 26-year-old had a bone spur removed from his right elbow in mid-March and was given a four-month recovery timeline, so it appears he's any significant setbacks. Armenteros was included in Houston's initial 60-man roster pool, which indicates he may not be sidelined too long into the season.
