PJ Poulin - Transferred to 60-day IL Poulin (forearm) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Poulin has been out since mid-July while recovering from a left flexor strain, and he will now be sidelined until at least mid-September while on the 60-day IL. The Nationals acquired right-handed pitchers Yovanny Cruz, Jake Bird, Ben Grable and Jack Cebert on Sunday from the Yankees in exchange for infielder Luis Garcia, and Poulin's move to the 60-day IL frees up a spot on the 40-man roster.

Riley Cornelio - Sent down Sunday Cornelio was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

Impact Cornelio will return to Triple-A after being called up June 29. The right-hander posted a 4.63 ERA and 1.80 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 11.2 innings in eight appearances in his second stint with the major-league roster this season, and he will now have to wait for his next shot with the Nationals. The move makes room for right-handed reliever Yovanny Cruz in the big-league bullpen after Washington acquired him and three other minor-league right-handers in return for Luis Garcia on Sunday.
