Adon (biceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Nationals' Joan Adon: Sent back to Rochester
Rotowire
The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Friday.
Since rejoining the Nationals bullpen July 30, Adon has given up three earned runs in just 3.1 innings across four appearances. His Triple-A numbers haven't been spectacular either (5.40 ERA, 1.66 WHIP), but there's still a chance he returns to Washington later in the season if the Nats' bullpen depth runs thin.

Rotowire

Nationals' Joan Adon: Decent in 2024 debut
Rotowire
Adon didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over four innings against San Francisco. He struck out two.
Adon was called up to fill Josiah Gray's (elbow) spot in the Nationals' rotation after Gray was moved to the 15-day injured list. Adon's only run allowed came in the third inning when Patrick Bailey plated Thairo Estrada on a sacrifice fly. While Adon didn't blow the Giants out of the water, one run over four innings is likely enough to earn him another start. However, with Adon not fully stretched out -- 72 pitches Tuesday -- and given his 6.71 ERA as a starter before this season, he'll be tough to trust in fantasy during his time in the rotation. Adon's next start is tentatively scheduled to come Monday against the Dodgers.
The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Adon made a spot start Tuesday in San Francisco in place of Josiah Gray's (elbow), allowing one run over four innings. With Adon being sent down, the Nationals will need a starter early next week against the Dodgers.

Rotowire
Adon was recalled from Triple-A Rochester and will start Tuesday at San Francisco, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The right-hander missed out on a spot in Washington's season-opening rotation but will make his 2024 debut Tuesday as Josiah Gray heads to the injured list with a flexor strain. Adon made 12 appearances for the Nationals last year and had a 6.45 ERA and 48:24 K:BB across 51.2 innings.

Nationals' Joan Adon: Misses out on Opening Day rotation
Rotowire
The Nationals optioned Adon to Triple-A Rochester on Monday.
Adon posted a 6.45 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over 12 appearances (10 starts) with the Nationals a season ago, but with the Washington rotation in a better spot from a health standpoint heading into spring training than it was late in the 2023 campaign, the right-hander won't earn a spot on the Opening Day squad. He's still likely to stay stretched out on the farm as a member of Rochester's rotation and will be available to make spot starts for the big club whenever injuries test the Nationals' rotation depth.

Nationals' Joan Adon: Saturday's start postponed
Rotowire
Adon will not start Saturday against Atlanta after the game was postponed due to a severe weather warning.
Saturday's forecast in D.C. is looking ugly, so the two teams have decided to go ahead and stage a doubleheader Sunday instead. Adon should start one of the two games, with Jackson Rutledge handling the other. Neither right-hander offers fantasy streaming appeal versus the NL East champions.

Adon dealt with multiple baserunners in each of his four-plus innings Tuesday, issuing a career-high six free passes. In seven outings since his Aug. 5. return to the big-league squad, the 25-year-old righty has a 6.00 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 3.8 BB/9 across 33 innings.

Adon allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Wednesday.
Adon yielded a run in the first inning but didn't let the Mets score again until the fifth. He departed with a 2-0 deficit, though he was taken off the hook when the Nationals scored three times late in the contest. Adon threw just 45 of 80 pitches for strikes and walked a season-high three batters, but he also recorded 12 swinging strikes and notched his second-highest total of the campaign with six punchouts. The right-hander has been up-and-down since getting his second call-up of the season Aug. 5, and overall he has an uninspiring 5.56 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB over 34 innings.
