The Nationals have added right-hander Matt Waldron to their active roster after claiming him off waivers from the Blue Jays, designating veteran pitcher Trevor Williams for assignment. Williams, 34, has struggled with injuries and performance since signing a two-year, $14MM deal, posting a 6.21 ERA in 2025 before needing surgery. Despite a strong 2.65 ERA in a limited role this season, the Nats are opting to focus on younger players as they fall out of playoff contention. Williams will likely clear waivers and could seek a new opportunity with another team.
