Sent to Rochester The Nationals optioned Ogasawara to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Impact Ogasawara's transition from Japan to the U.S. hasn't gone as well as he probably had hoped. In five Grapefruit League games, the 27-year-old lefty allowed 19 runs (15 earned) in 12 innings while striking out 10 batters and walking eight. He'll now head to the minors as a result of his rough start, and it may be a while before he's ready to face MLB hitters.

Knocked around in spring start Ogasawara took the loss after allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings Monday during a Cactus League loss to the Marlins.

Impact Ogasawara posted his worst outing of the spring against a Miami offense that refused to let up, as the club scored on the southpaw in each of the first four innings. This wasn't an ideal showing for the 27-year-old, who is doing everything he can in camp to prove that he belongs in Washington's rotation.

Tosses bullpen Friday Ogasawara threw 40 pitches in a bullpen session Friday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 27-year-old left-hander didn't even fly in from Japan until Wednesday night, but Ogasawara had already been throwing with an MLB ball prior to his arrival in camp and may actually be a little ahead of the Nationals' other pitchers. While he doesn't have overpowering stuff or the strikeout upside to be worth a late-round dart throw in most fantasy formats, Ogasawara will be given every opportunity to win a spot in a Nationals' rotation that has plenty of arms in the mix but little established depth -- only MacKenzie Gore and Jake Irvin made 30-plus starts in the majors last year among the Nats' starting pitching options. Over 144.1 innings for the Chunichi Dragons in 2024, Ogasawara posted a 3.12 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 82:22 K:BB.
