  • The Nationals outrighted Lara to Double-A Harrisburg on Monday.

    He's no longer on the 40-man roster, but Lara will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The hard-throwing righty holds a 10.13 ERA and 22:31 K:BB across 16 frames at the Double-A level in 2026.

  • The Nationals designated Lara for assignment Wednesday.

    Lara possesses a big arm capable of regularly reaching triple digits, but he's often struggled to throw strikes. After walking 65 batters over 68.2 innings between Double- and Triple-A in 2025, he's posted a 10.13 ERA and 22:31 K:BB across 16 frames at the Double-A level in 2026. That said, Lara is just 23 years old and could draw interest via waivers because of his upside.

  • The Nationals claimed Lara off waivers and optioned him to Double-A Harrisburg Friday.

    The 23-year-old was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Wednesday and will remain in the National League East after being claimed by Washington. A change of scenery could be beneficial for Lara, who has struggled to an 8.22 ERA, 2.65 WHIP and 21:29 K:BB across 15.1 innings at the Double-A level this year.

  • Atlanta designated Lara for assignment Wednesday.

    Lara was a roster casualty with Atlanta needing to clear a 40-man spot for first baseman/designated hitter Rowdy Tellez, who was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. A 23-year-old righty, Lara was up with Atlanta for a brief spell last September but didn't get the chance to make his big-league debut. He had pitched exclusively for Double-A Columbus thus far in 2026, logging an 8.22 ERA, 2.65 WHIP and 21:29 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

  • Atlanta optioned Lara to minor-league camp Thursday.

    Lara got a cup of coffee in the majors last season but didn't make an appearance. The 23-year-old was moved to a relief role in the minors in 2025 and will continue to work on throwing more strikes at Triple-A Gwinnett. The hard-throwing Lara struck out 104 over 68.2 frames between Double-A Columbus and Gwinnett last season but also issued 65 walks and held a 7.73 ERA.

  • Atlanta optioned Lara to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

    Lara's contract was selected by Atlanta on Friday, but the 22-year-old right-hander didn't end up seeing any action during the three-game weekend series against Detroit. He'll return to Triple-A, where he has posted a 6.58 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 80:47 K:BB across 52 innings this season.
