The Nationals optioned Ogasawara to Triple-A Rochester following Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.
Making his second start for the Nationals on Saturday, Ogasawara took a no-decision after allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two over four innings. While he performed better Saturday than he had in his MLB debut, the southpaw won't retain his rotation spot after giving up seven runs over 6.2 frames across his first two MLB starts. It's not yet clear who Washington will turn to as its new fifth starter moving forward, but the team has some time to decide with the All-Star break just around the corner.
