Susana had been on the shelf all season while recovering from right lat surgery, but he finally received the green light to join the Harrisburg rotation after turning in a 5.68 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 6.1 innings over three rehab starts with High-A Wilmington. The 22-year-old righty will likely have his workloads monitored carefully in his starts for the rest of the season, but he'll likely head into spring training with fewer restrictions in place. One of the Nationals' top pitching prospects, Susana should have a strong chance at making starts for the big club in 2027.

Susana has resided on Double-A Harrisburg's injured list all season while recovering from right lat surgery and will eventually slot into the rotation for that affiliate once he concludes his rehab assignment at Wilmington. The 22-year-old righty displaced elite velocity before undergoing surgery last September and has seemingly bounced back well from the procedure, with Nusbaum noting that Susana has been regularly hitting triple digits with his fastball during his recent throwing sessions.

The 22-year-old right-hander with the triple-digit fastball underwent lat surgery last September, but Susana appears to be entering the final stages of his recovery. The Nationals still plan to continue his development as a starting pitcher once he's activated from the IL, but if the team does squeak into the playoffs in 2026, his elite raw stuff could make him an option for a Washington bullpen that has lacked reliable high-leverage relievers all season.
