Before Sunday afternoon’s game, Washington’s Nationals announced that they had selected the contract of outfielder Gerardo Parra, optioned infielder Luis García to Triple-A Rochester (after Saturday’s game), and designated left-handed pitcher Ben Braymer for assignment.
It’s great to see Parra back in the big leagues, of course, but the move had some ripple effects.
Braymer, 27, and a 2016 18th Round pick by the Nationals, debuted for the Nats in 2020’s 60-game campaign, but he was struggling at Triple-A Rochester, with a 6.75 ERA, 18 BBs, and 20 Ks in seven starts and 28 IP this season before he was DFA’d.
