The Nationals reassigned Lara to minor-league camp Monday.
Mar 2Rotowire
Washington outrighted Lara to the minors in January, but the 23-year-old righty still received an invitation to big-league camp to begin spring training. Lara made eight appearances out of the Washington bullpen in 2025, though he'll likely have a tougher time resurfacing in the majors this season now that he's no longer on the 40-man roster.

He'll head back to Triple-A to clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Cade Cavalli, who was called up from Rochester in advance of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Athletics. During his latest stint in Washington, Lara made eight relief appearances and yielded 15 runs (14 earned) on 26 hits and eight walks over 11.1 innings.

Lara will provide some extra bullpen coverage in Sunday's series finale with the Brewers after the Nationals burned through four relievers Saturday. Washington optioned Shinnosuke Ogasawara to Triple-A Rochester following Saturday's game, and it's possible Lara ends up getting a look in the rotation to begin the second half. The 22-year-old right-hander has turned in a 7.50 ERA and 2.00 WHIP over 36 innings in the minors this season but was effective in his MLB debut July 2, holding the Tigers scoreless while striking out four over three innings.
