The Nationals optioned Pinckney to Triple-A Rochester after Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Pinckney was recalled from Triple-A on Thursday and went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored during his brief stint in the majors. Unless the Nationals need to replace an injured player down the stretch, the 25-year-old will most likely play out the rest of the season at Rochester.
