Before the second of three with the New York Mets in Citi Field, the Washington Nationals announced a series of roster moves:
- Selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Jordan Weems
- Recalled left-handed pitcher Francisco Perez from Triple-A Rochester
- Optioned right-handed pitcher Andres Machado to Triple-A Rochester
- Designated right-handed pitcher Austin Voth for assignment
In addition, the Nationals noted, right-handed starter Aaron Sanchez, who was designated for assignment over the weekend, “cleared outright waivers and has elected free agency.”
Manager Davey Martinez talked in his pregame press conference on Tuesday afternoon about the changes the club made in their bullpen, which included bringing Pérez back following a stint at Triple-A, and calling Weems up for the first time.
