Serving as 29th man
Garrett was called up to serve as the 29th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Garrett has thrown 7.2 major-league innings this season, allowing eight runs (seven earned) while striking out four and walking seven. If he pitches in either game, it will likely be in a low-leverage role.
Aug 4, 2022
Activated and optioned
The Nationals reinstated Garrett (biceps) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Garrett is fully recovered from right biceps inflammation after he recently wrapped up a four-appearance rehab stint without any renewed discomfort, but the Nationals don't have a spot available for him in the bullpen at the moment. Prior to landing on the shelf, the right-hander surrendered eight runs (seven earned) on 11 hits and seven walks over 7.2 innings with Washington.
Jul 25, 2022
Starts rehab assignment
Garrett (biceps) began a rehab assignment for Single-A Fredericksburg on Saturday and allowed one hit over a scoreless inning.
ANALYSIS
Garrett was placed on the 15-day injured list July 7 with right biceps inflammation, and the short-term nature of his absence suggests that he likely won't require much ramp-up time in the minors. Once he's activated, Garrett will likely handle a low-leverage role out of the Washington bullpen.
Jul 7, 2022
Sidelined with biceps injury
The Nationals placed Garrett on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right biceps inflammation.
ANALYSIS
Garrett will be eligible to return for the Nationals' first game out of the All-Star break, but it's unclear if he'll be fully recovered from the injury by then. Prior to sustaining the injury, Garrett covered 7.2 innings out of the Washington bullpen and surrendered seven earned runs on 11 hits and seven walks. Joan Adon, who is scheduled to start Thursday's game in Philadelphia, was called up from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.
