  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Ineffective in return

    Irvin (2-5) took the loss Thursday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on three hits and two walks in five-plus innings. He struck out one.

    Irvin cruised through three scoreless innings initially, but he wasn't able to record an out in the sixth frame after issuing a pair of free passes. The right-hander missed over two months of action after working his way back from a right shoulder strain, so he likely had some rust to shake off in his first appearance at the major-league level since late May. Irvin is set to take a lackluster 5.56 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 59:24 K:BB over 56.2 innings into a tough road matchup against the division-rival Phillies.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Activated ahead of Thursday's start

    The Nationals activated Irvin (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Irvin is slated to rejoin the Nationals' rotation with a start Thursday in Atlanta. It will be his first outing at the big-league level since late May, as Irvin has been working his way back from a right shoulder strain. Irvin made three rehab starts and topped out at 58 pitches, so he will be limited from a workload perspective Thursday.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Tapped to start Thursday

    Nationals manager Blake Butera said Wednesday that Irvin (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list to start Thursday's game in Atlanta, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

    Irvin has been shelved since late May while working his way back from a right shoulder strain. He pitched well in three rehab starts, covering 11.1 shutout frames with a 12:1 K:BB and just two hits allowed. Irvin authored a 5.23 ERA in 11 starts before getting hurt, however, so his leash on a rotation spot with Washington may not be long.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: On cusp of IL return

    Irvin (shoulder) struck out four and allowed one walk and no hits over 3.2 scoreless innings in a rehab start Friday with Double-A Harrisburg. He also hit a batter.

    Irvin built up to 63 pitches (38 strikes) in the third start of his rehab assignment, during which he posted a stellar 12:0 K:BB while permitting just two hits in 11.1 scoreless frames between stops with Harrisburg and the Nationals' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate. Per MLB.com, Irvin returned to Washington to throw a bullpen session Monday, and while the club has yet to announce his next step, he appears likely to return from the 60-day injured list to start Thursday's series opener in Atlanta. Washington has already named its starters for the final three games of the series but is listing Thursday as "TBA," according to Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Covers 4.2 innings in rehab start

    Irvin (shoulder) struck out five and allowed one hit and no walks over 4.2 scoreless innings Sunday in a rehab start with Double-A Harrisburg.

    Making the second start of his rehab assignment, Irvin built up to 51 pitches (35 strikes) while facing one batter over the minimum. The right-hander has looked strong in the minors thus far as he works his way back from a shoulder strain, as he's yet to allow a run and has posted an 8:0 K:BB across 7.2 innings. He'll likely need to get stretched out to around 70-to-80 pitches over the course of one or two more rehab starts before returning from the 60-day injured list.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Shifted to 60-day injured list

    The Nationals transferred Irvin (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list July 10.

    Coming back from a right shoulder strain, Irvin began a rehab assignment Monday with three scoreless innings in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. Irvin will need additional rehab appearances, likely at a higher affiliate, before the Nationals consider re-inserting him into their rotation. Having been sidelined since May 23, the shift to the 60-day IL doesn't impact the right-hander's return timeline.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Starts up rehab assignment

    Irvin (shoulder) struck out three and gave up one hit and no walks over three scoreless innings Monday in a rehab start in the rookie-level Florida Complex League.

    Making his first appearance in a game since May 23 following an extended recovery from a right shoulder strain, Irvin looked sharp while facing off a lineup consisting mostly of teenaged hitters. He'll presumably shift his rehab assignment to a higher level this weekend when the Nationals' full-season affiliates are back in action following the All-Star break and will aim to push up his pitch count. Prior to landing on the injured list, Irvin had posted a solid 58:22 K:BB over 51.2 innings, but an elevated BABIP (.304) and low strand rate (63.4 percent) played a part in inflating his ERA (5.23) and WHIP (1.35).

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Cleared to face hitters

    Irvin (shoulder) is slated to face live hitters in batting practice Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    If all goes well during Irvin's upcoming throwing session, he could be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment coming out of the All-Star break. Irvin has been shelved since May 24 due to a right shoulder strain and will likely require multiple starts in the minors to build up his pitch count before re-entering the Washington rotation.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Resuming mound work Tuesday

    Irvin (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.

    The righty hurler will get back on a mound for the first time since he was shelved by a right shoulder strain in late May. Irvin has found more swings and misses this season with 58 strikeouts over 51.2 innings, but he's posted a 5.23 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. He will likely need at least one rehab start before rejoining the Nationals' active roster.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Remains shut down from throwing

    Nationals manager Blake Butera said Monday that Irvin (shoulder) remains shut down from throwing, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Irvin has made some progress since he went down with a right shoulder strain a little over a week ago, but it hasn't come as quickly as anticipated. He will remain limited to strengthening exercises for the time being.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Shelved with shoulder strain

    The Nationals placed Irvin on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right shoulder strain.

    Irvin suffered the injury during his start Saturday in Atlanta, but the right-hander indicated that an MRI didn't show anything overly concerning, adding that his diagnosis was the "best news we could have heard," per Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com. Manager Blake Butera echoed those sentiments, telling Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com that he envisions a minimum stay on the shelf for the 29-year-old. After tossing five no-hit, scoreless innings before departing Saturday, Irvin lowered his ERA to 5.23 for the season.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Headed for MRI

    Irvin (shoulder/lat) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Irvin spun five scoreless and hitless innings Saturday, earning the win against Atlanta despite feeling something in the back of his shoulder/lat area during the contest. He tried to throw a warmup pitch prior to the sixth and still felt it, and so the Nationals made the call to remove him from the game. The right-hander will undergo imaging to determine the exact nature and full extent of the issue -- one which Irvin told manager Blake Butera he's dealt with in the past.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Departs with trainer

    Irvin was removed from Saturday's game against Atlanta with an apparent injury, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.

    Irvin took the mound to warm up for the sixth inning but was visited by one of the Nationals' trainers and subsequently removed from the game before the inning started. It's unclear what led to his removal, but the Nationals may provide more details in the near future. Irvin finished the day having allowed just one man to reach base via a walk while striking out seven batters over five shutout innings.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Fans six in no-decision

    Irvin didn't factor into the decision Monday against the Mets. He allowed three runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk while striking out six across four innings.

    Irvin gave up a solo shot to Brett Baty in the top of the fourth inning, but the other two runs he allowed were unearned due to errors from James Wood and Luis Garcia, respectively. Irvin has pitched more than five innings just once all season long, and he hasn't secured a win since doing so in his season debut back on March 29. Irvin owns a 5.59 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP across 46.2 innings through 10 starts this season, and he's scheduled to make his next start over the weekend against Atlanta on the road in what projects as another challenging matchup.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Rocked by Reds in no-decision

    Irvin didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Reds, surrendering six runs (five earned) on four hits and four walks over three innings. He struck out four.

    The right-hander got ambushed for five runs in the bottom of the first inning, with most of the damage coming on a Tyler Stephenson grand slam, but the Nationals immediately struck back for four runs in the top of the second in what proved to be a wild affair. Irvin managed only 44 strikes among his 86 pitches as he failed to complete at least five innings for only the second time in nine starts, but he also has yet to last six innings in any outing. Irvin will carry a 5.91 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 45:20 K:BB through 42.2 frames into his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Mets.

  • Nationals' Jake Irvin: Poor outing in no-decision

    Irvin didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Twins, allowing four runs on eight hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out two.

    The 29-year-old right-hander struggled Thursday, fanning a season-low two and tying a season worst in hits allowed. On a positive note, Irvin has now pitched at least five frames in six consecutive starts and seven of his eight appearances on the year. He'll take a lackluster 5.22 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 39.2 innings into his next outing, which is slated to come versus the Reds at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.
