The Washington Nationals are recalling right-hander Luis Perales from Triple-A Rochester after optioning Jake Bird following a loss to Colorado. This marks Perales’ first big league promotion despite being on the 40-man roster all season. Having missed most of 2025 due to Tommy John surgery, he has logged 96 1/3 innings with a 3.64 ERA this year, though he struggles with command, walking over 13% of batters faced. With the Nationals in evaluation mode after a poor August, Perales aims to impress for a potential 2027 Opening Day roster spot.
