The Rockies traded Palmquist to the Nationals on Monday in exchange for cash considerations.
Palmquist was designated for assignment by the Rockies on Thursday, but he'll now be a part of the Nationals organization and will get a fresh start with Triple-A Rochester. He has spent the entire 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a 7.20 ERA, 2.04 WHIP and 24:19 K:BB across 25 innings. Max Kranick (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.
