Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Optioned to Triple-A
The Nationals optioned Brzykcy to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
The rookie reliever is clearing out to make space on the roster for Trevor Williams, who is back from the injured list to start Friday's game against the Cubs. Brzykcy was roughed up for nine runs over 5.2 innings during his brief first stint in the big leagues.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Gets first big-league call-up
The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.
Added to the 40-man roster over the winter, Brzykcy will now hit the big leagues for the first time as one of the Nationals' two September call-ups. Despite not making his 2024 debut late May, the hard-throwing right-handed reliever staged a successful recovery from Tommy John surgery, which cut short his 2023 season. Between stops with Rochester and Double-A Harrisburg this season, Brzykcy logged a 2.38 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 28:8 K:BB in 22.2 innings. While unlikely to unseat All-Star Kyle Finnegan as the Nationals' closer this season, Brzykcy could quickly move into a key setup role for Washington in the final month of the 2024 campaign.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Returns to action at Double-A
Double-A Harrisburg reinstated Brzykcy (elbow) from its 60-day injured list Monday.
Brzykcy has struck out two while allowing two hits and one walk over two scoreless innings across two appearances since making his 2024 debut for Harrisburg. The 24-year-old rejoined Harrisburg after recently finishing up a six-week rehab assignment at the Nationals' lower-level affiliates while he completed his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last summer. The relief prospect has a spot on the Nationals' 40-man roster, but the organization likely isn't counting on Brzykcy making any major contributions to the big-league bullpen in 2024.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Commences rehab assignment
Brzykcy (elbow) began a rehab assignment Wednesday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, striking out two and allowing one run on one hit and no walks in a one-inning start.
Brzykcy is nearing the finish line in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in April 2023. Prior to suffering the major elbow injury, Brzykcy flashed enough promise as a reliever in the minors for the Nationals to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft this past winter and add him to the 40-man roster. He'll likely need a few more rehab outings in lower levels of the minors to ramp back up before he's activated from Double-A Harrisburg's 60-day injured list, but the hard-throwing righty could eventually settle at Triple-A Rochester or even in the big-league bullpen later this season if he's quickly able to recapture his pre-injury form.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Optioned to Rochester
The Nationals optioned Brzykcy (elbow) to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Brzykcy will head back to the minors after surrendering nine runs across 18 innings during spring training while striking out 18 batters and walking nine. The 24-year-old righty was dominant in Double-A in 2022 with a 1.89 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 38 frames and didn't allow a run in two Triple-A appearances upon being promoted at the end of the year. However, a forearm strain cost him the entire 2023 campaign, and Brzykcy underwent Tommy John surgery in June to address the issue. If Brzykcy is able to return to his 2022 form at Rochester once he fully recovers from his procedure, he could be a candidate to join Washington's bullpen at some point this season.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Added to 40-man roster
The Nationals selected Brzykcy (elbow) to their 40-man roster Tuesday.
Brzycky did not pitch in 2023 because of a forearm/elbow injury that eventually led to Tommy John surgery, but he is expected to return at some point in 2024 and is now protected from selection in next month's Rule 5 Draft. The 24-year-old right-hander carries a 3.49 ERA with 181 strikeouts in 123.2 career minor-league innings.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: On mend from Tommy John surgery
Brzykcy is recovering from Tommy John surgery and won't return until next season, Baseball America reports.
This could have been guessed after the Nationals put Brzykcy on the full-season injured list in April after he suffered a forearm strain in February, but now we have official confirmation. Assuming he had the procedure in April or May, Brzykcy could return in the middle of the 2024 season. When healthy, the 23-year-old power righty is one of Washington's most exciting young relievers.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Shut down for season
Double-A Harrisburg placed Brzykcy (forearm) on its full-season injured list April 6.
According to Andrew Golden of The Washington Post, Brzykcy was scheduled to meet with a doctor Wednesday before determining his next steps for treating a right forearm strain, but the Nationals have seemingly already ruled out the possibility of the 23-year-old pitching this season. With that in mind, Brzykcy is presumably in line to undergo a procedure of some sort, though it's not yet known if Tommy John surgery is in the cards. Regardless, the forearm injury is a tough setback for Brzykcy, one of the organization's more promising reliever prospects.

Nationals' Zach Brzykcy: Suffers forearm strain
Brzykcy was diagnosed with a right forearm strain Sunday and will be shut down from throwing for 2-to-4 weeks, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
Brzykcy had an outside chance at making Washington's Opening Day roster but now, even with just a two-week shutdown, the right-hander may not have enough time left in spring training to get fully ramped up before the start of the regular season. The 23-year-old spent most of last season at Double-A and posted a 1.89 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 54:19 K:BB over 38 innings.
