The Washington Nationals have optioned pitcher Zach Brzykcy, recovering from Tommy John surgery, to Triple-A Rochester. Additionally, Carter Kieboom has cleared outright waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Rochester, opening a slot on the 40-man roster. This move slightly improves Nasim Nuñez's chances of making the roster, but the team may prefer his 40-man spot for non-roster invitees expected to make the team.

Slightly improves Nasim Nuñez's chances of making the roster but they may rather have his 40-man spot for one of the multiple NRIs who probably make the team (though they'll also be able to 60-day Strasburg and Thompson) https://t.co/cFLX3qD47x
