The Washington Nationals promoted pitcher Yovanny Cruz to their active MLB roster from Triple-A Rochester on September 8, 2026. This promotion arrives roughly two weeks after the organization initially demoted the 27-year-old to the minor leagues. Cruz joined the Nationals in August as part of the trade that sent Luis Garcia Jr. to the New York Yankees. During his brief tenure with Washington, he has recorded an 11.25 ERA across six appearances. Before the mid-season trade, Cruz made four appearances for the Yankees, posting a 1.69 ERA and six strikeouts over 5.1 innings. He will now attempt to secure a consistent role within the Nationals' pitching rotation as the season continues.
