Cade Cavalli - Gets call-up to Double-A The Nationals promoted Cavalli from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg on Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Though he didn't make his professional debut until May after getting selected in the first round of the 2020 first-year player draft, Cavalli already entered the season as the Nationals' No. 1 pitching prospect. He's more than justified the hype through his first seven pro starts, limiting opponents at High-A to a .171 average while generating 71 punchouts to go with a 1.77 ERA and 0.90 WHIP in 40.2 innings. The right-hander's sketchy injury history during his college days at Oklahoma will likely prompt the Nationals to manage his innings carefully for the remainder of 2021, but with a strong showing at Double-A to close out the season, Cavalli could put himself in position to earn an early call-up to the majors in 2022.

Sam Clay - Steadying ship in June Clay struck out one in a perfect inning of relief during Sunday's win over the Giants.
Impact It wasn't a high-leverage situation, as the Nats had a 5-0 lead when Clay worked the ninth inning, but it was still a sharp performance. The southpaw got scored upon in four straight outings to begin June but has delivered three straight scoreless appearances since, leaving him with a 4.50 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB K:BB through 20 innings on the year.

Josh Harrison - Four hits in Sunday's win Harrison went 4-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Impact It's the veteran infielder's first multi-hit performance since May 23, which came the day after his last home run. Harrison is slashing only .214/.297/.268 in the 17 games since even after Sunday's effort, but as yet the Nats don't seem inclined to look elsewhere for help at second base.
