Top pitching prospect Jarlin Susana has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 UCL sprain and will be shut down for two weeks, with Nationals manager Davey Martinez describing the situation as a “best-case scenario.” Acquired in the Juan Soto trade, Susana has shown promise with a 4.15 ERA and a 31.1% strikeout rate in Double-A, but control issues persist, making his future uncertain. Meanwhile, Cade Cavalli has been activated from the injured list after Tommy John surgery, while Derek Law is set to throw off a mound for the first time since his forearm injury.
