The Nationals optioned Beeter to Triple-A Rochester after Friday's game against the Angels.
Beeter pitched a perfect eighth inning Friday, lowering his ERA to 4.50 and his WHIP to 1.40 through 48 frames, but the Nationals will send him down to Triple-A nonetheless. Unless the 27-year-old is recalled to replace an injured player, he will spend the rest of the season in the minors, leaving Erik Tolman and Brad Lord as top candidates to pick up saves for the Nats down the stretch.

Beeter struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 12th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Reds.
The Nationals got a rare smooth performance from the bullpen, as Yovanny Cruz and Orlando Ribalta handled the seventh and eighth innings before Beeter wrapped things up. Beeter has been far from a lockdown closer, however, and over 12 appearances and 9.2 innings since the beginning of July he's stumbled to a 5.59 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB while blowing two of eight save chances.

Beeter gave up two runs on one hit and one walk while recording only one out in Monday's loss to the Phillies.
The Nationals' early lead had already slipped away in the seventh inning, but Beeter got called in for the eighth to keep the game close and instead served up a two-run homer to Bryce Harper. Beeter has been taken deep four times in his last seven appearances, stumbling to a 9.53 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 3:3 K:BB in 5.2 innings, but he has still converted four of his five save chances during that span. Washington's busy trade deadline brought a flood of relief arms into the organization, and the most immediate threat to Beeter's closer job could come from Yovanny Cruz, who boasts a fastball that has averaged 100.0 mph and a slider with a 42.9 percent whiff rate during his brief time in the majors this season.

Beeter locked down the save Tuesday against the Blue Jays, recording a perfect inning while striking out one batter.
It took just 12 pitches (eight strikes) for Beeter to put away Toronto for his 11th save of the campaign. The 27-year-old has now recorded three saves in the last four days and has not allowed a run in that time. On the season, Beeter now owns a 3.58 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 34:20 K:BB through 32.2 innings.

Beeter secured the save Sunday against the Diamondbacks, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning.
Beeter was shaky Sunday but did help put out a fire started by Matt Krook, who walked three batters in the ninth without recording an out. Beeter remains the favorite for saves in Washington's much-maligned bullpen, but his job security is as low as any closer in the major leagues. Through 31.2 innings, the right-hander has a 3.69 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and a concerning 33:20 K:BB with 10 saves in 15 opportunities.

Beeter worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his ninth save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks. He didn't strike out a batter.
The right-hander needed just nine pitches (six strikes) to take care of the middle of Arizona's order. Beeter had been tagged for at least one run in three straight appearances prior to Saturday, and while he's the best closing option the Nationals have at the moment, his 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB over 30.2 innings on the season are far from elite ratios.
