The Nationals optioned Fernandez to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

Fernandez appeared in three games after getting called up to Washington on Monday, allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings. The 30-year-old reliever will now head back to the minors, where he owns a 4.70 ERA through 7.2 frames this season.
