Latest news

  • The Nationals optioned Bird to Triple-A Rochester following Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Rockies.

    Bird pitched a scoreless inning Tuesday, bringing his ERA down to 5.35 through 38.2 innings on the season, but the Nationals will send him down to Rochester to make room in the bullpen for right-hander Luis Perales, who will be recalled from Triple-A on Wednesday. Bird could still return to Washington later in the season to provide the parent club with a fresh arm, but he would likely be limited to middle-relief duty.

  • The Nationals recalled Bird from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday.

    Bird will join the Washington bullpen as a replacement for left-hander Carson Palmquist, who was optioned to Triple-A following Saturday's 8-2 win. The Nationals are treating Sunday's series finale as a bullpen game, so Bird could be called upon to cover an inning or two once opening pitcher Brad Lord exits the contest. Acquired from the Yankees on Monday in a five-player trade, Bird will be making his Nationals debut when he gets into a game.

  • The Nationals acquired Bird and right-handers Yovanny Cruz, Ben Grable and Jack Cebert (undisclosed) from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for first baseman Luis Garcia, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports. Washington optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.

    Bird will be on the move from the second trade deadline in a row, after being shipped from the Rockies to the Yankees last summer. Before the Yankees optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 19, Bird had struggled over 36 appearances with the Yankees, pitching to a 5.93 ERA and 1.55 WHIP with 31 strikeouts over 30.1 innings in 36 appearances. Though he'll start out his time in the Nationals organization at Triple-A, Bird might not have to wait long for a call-up to a Washington bullpen that's lacking in dependable arms.

  • The Yankees optioned Bird to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

    After allowing five earned runs in one-third of an inning in the Yankees' 8-2 loss in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Dodgers, Bird was sent down to Triple-A in advance of Game 2. The Yankees will swap Bird off the 26-man active roster for a fresh bullpen arm in Kervin Castro, who was recalled from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.

  • The Yankees recalled Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

    He'll grab the roster spot vacated by David Bednar, who was placed on the paternity leave list. Bird boasts a 27:7 K:BB over 24 innings with the Yankees this season, though that's come with a bloated 4.88 ERA. He could be sent back down later this week when Bednar returns.

  • The Yankees optioned Bird to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Bird pitched scoreless innings in both Friday's and Saturday's contests, lowering his ERA to 4.88 through 24 innings on the season. He'll now end up as the roster casualty necessary to create space in preparation for Elmer Rodriguez's promotion Sunday. Bird is likely to return to the Bronx at some point this season when the Yankees need a fresh arm in the bullpen.
