Cubs' Jackson Tetreault: Inks minors deal with Cubs
Rotowire
The Cubs signed Tetreault to a minor-league contract Saturday.
Tetreault, 27, missed most of the 2023 season with a shoulder issue before becoming a minor-league free agent. The right-hander made four starts for the Nationals in 2022, allowing 12 earned runs with a 9:10 K:BB over 21 innings. He's been assigned to the Arizona Complex League Cubs for now but should eventually wind up at Triple-A Iowa.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Getting hit hard on rehab
Rotowire
Tetreault (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with High-A Wilmington last Tuesday and has surrendered 10 runs (eight earned) on 14 hits and two walks while striking out four in 5.2 innings over his first two starts for the affiliate.
Tetreault is in the process of getting stretched out again after he hadn't pitched since suffering a stress fracture of his right scapula in early July of last season. The 26-year-old right-hander made four starts for the Nationals in 2022 but was moved off the 40-man roster over the winter. He'll likely settle into the rotation at Triple-A Rochester once he completes his rehab assignment and is activated from the 7-day injured list.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Sent out of big-league camp
Rotowire
The Nationals reassigned Tetreault (shoulder) to minor-league camp Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
Tetreault had yet to resume throwing bullpen sessions during spring training while he continues to recover from a stress fracture to his right scapula, an injury he sustained last summer. When healthy, Tetreault is expected to be part of Triple-A Rochester's rotation, though he appears likely to open the 2023 season on the affiliate's injured list.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Not yet throwing off mound
Rotowire
Manager Dave Martinez said Thursday that Tetreault (shoulder) has yet to resume throwing off a mound, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Tetreault suffered a stress fracture in his right scapula last July and is being brought along slowly this spring in Nationals camp. The 26-year-old seems doubtful to crack the Opening Day roster in Washington, but he'll likely have a rotation spot at Triple-A Rochester whenever he's deemed ready to fill it.

Rotowire
Tetreault (shoulder) was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Placed on injured list
Rotowire
Tetreault was placed on the 15-day injured list with a stress fracture of his right scapula Monday, retroactive to July 3.
Although Tetreault's move to the injured list can be backdated by a day, he won't be eligible to return until at least after the All-Star break. The issue has apparently been lingering for some time, but he struggled to lift his arm during Saturday's start against Miami, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return or who will take his place in the rotation.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Allows four runs in loss
Rotowire
Tetreault (2-2) took the loss to the Marlins on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits while striking out one and walking five across four innings.
Tetreault had a rough game, throwing 44 of 84 pitches for strikes across four frames. He did not show good control, walking five batters and striking out just one. The righty looked to be moving in the right direction after throwing two quality starts, but he will have some adjustments to make to get back on track. Tetreault will take a 5.14 ERA into his next appearance.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Goes six for win
Rotowire
Tetreault (2-1) gave up one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out four to earn the win in a 6-4 victory over the Rangers on Sunday.
Tetreault impressed in his third big-league start of the year, throwing 99 pitches and holding the Rangers to only one run, which came in to score in the seventh after he had already left the game. The rookie right-hander was pounded for seven runs in his first big league start against the Phillies on May 15, but he has since settled down with two consecutive quality starts that earned him wins. The young pitcher is worth watching to see if he can find success at the major-league level despite not showing notable velocity or spin on his fastball thus far.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Lasts seven innings Sunday
Rotowire
Tetreault (1-1) allowed three unearned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two in seven innings to earn the win over the Phillies on Sunday.
Tetreault gave up seven runs in four innings during his major-league debut Tuesday, but he fared much better Sunday and posted a quality start en route to his first MLB win. The right-hander posted a 4.19 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 58 innings over 12 starts at Triple-A Rochester to begin the year, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him rewarded with at least one more start following Sunday's solid outing. Assuming he makes another turn through the rotation, Tetreault tentatively lines up to start on the road against Texas next Sunday.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Will stay in rotation
Rotowire
Tetreault is scheduled to make his second start with the Nationals on Sunday against the Phillies.
With Steven Strasburg (ribs) recently moving back to the injured list and Washington electing to keep fellow rookie pitcher Evan Lee in the bullpen for now, Tetreault will receive at least one more turn through the rotation. Tetreault was blasted for seven runs on nine hits -- including three home runs -- over four innings in his MLB debut Tuesday against Atlanta, so he'll likely need a better showing Sunday to ensure he holds off Lee or another pitcher for the final spot in Washington's rotation.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Shelled in debut
Rotowire
Tetreault (0-1) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, giving up seven runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out two in four innings.
It was an inauspicious major-league debut for Tetreault as he gave up three long balls. Dansby Swanson welcomed him with a solo shot in the first and Travis d'Arnaud and Marcell Ozuna went back-to-back in the third. It might not come as a surprise that Tetreault had trouble keeping the ball in the park after he gave up 10 homers in 58 innings for Triple-A Rochester. With Stephen Strasburg (ribs) being moved to the injured list, Tetreault may have a shot at another start despite the poor showing.

Nationals' Jackson Tetreault: Set for MLB debut
Rotowire
The Nationals will call up Tetreault from Triple-A Rochester to start Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Tetreault has started 12 games for Rochester in 2022, turning in a 4.19 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 52:24 K:BB across 58 innings. If he fares well Tuesday, he could be get a second turn through the rotation while Stephen Strasburg (neck) is on the 15-day injured list.
