Latest news
The Nationals released Mikolas on Friday, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Mikolas is now officially a free agent after passing through waivers following his removal from the Nationals' 40-man roster. The veteran right-hander has logged a 5.82 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 116 innings this season and will likely have to accept a minor-league contract if he wishes to continue his playing career.
RotoWire via ESPN · Aug 14
The Nationals designated Mikolas for assignment Wednesday.
Mikolas had been a member of the rotation throughout the season as either a starter or primary pitcher out of the bullpen, but his usage as a mop-up man in relief during Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs appeared to signal that his time in Washington was nearing an end. The Nationals made it official Wednesday, dropping Mikolas from the 40-man roster to clear a spot for left-hander Jackson Kent, who was called up from Triple-A Rochester to start Wednesday's contest. Mikolas will be available via waivers at a $2.25 million salary, but the 37-year-old is unlikely to command much interest after submitting a 5.82 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over his 116 innings with the Nationals.

Mikolas threw three innings of relief in Tuesday's 8-6 loss to the Cubs, giving up a solo home run and striking out two without walking a batter.
The veteran righty has worked behind an opener on many occasions this season and has officially gotten the start in just 11 of his 25 appearances, but Tuesday's usage was a sign Mikolas might have lost his starting job completely, as he entered the game in the seventh inning with his team down 7-4. The Nationals will call up Jackson Kent on Wednesday to fill one rotation vacancy, and fellow prospect Luis Perales may not be far behind if Mikolas is being moved to the bullpen full-time, or Mikolas could even follow Zack Littell off the 40-man roster.

Mikolas (3-9) took the loss Thursday against the Phillies, allowing six runs on 12 hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out one.
It was a rough night out of the gate for Mikolas, who gave up all six runs on 11 hits, including seven doubles, in the first three innings. The veteran right-hander has struggled to a 7.32 ERA over his last seven appearances (35.2 innings). Overall, Mikolas' ERA is up to 5.89 through 113 innings this season with a 1.41 WHIP and 56:23 K:BB. He'll look to turn things around in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week at home against the Cubs.

Mikolas (3-8) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out three batters over six innings.
Mikolas struggled to keep the ball in the park, at Atlanta teed off for three homers against him, including two in the first inning. The right-hander at least managed to give Washington six frames, but he ultimately fell to his eighth defeat of the campaign and his first since June 29. Mikolas' ERA now stands at 5.67 through 108 frames, which would be the worst mark in the league if he had enough innings to qualify (he's currently four frames short). He's lined up for a tough road matchup in Philadelphia his next time out.
RotoWire via ESPN · Aug 2
Mikolas took a no-decision Sunday against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out four.
Mikolas rejoined the rotation following a pair of outings as a long reliever, but the shift in role didn't yield better results Sunday. The 37-year-old right-hander has had a hard time putting batters away all year long -- he's yet to exceed four strikeouts in any of his 22 appearances and remains without a single quality start. Mikolas is unlikely to carry much fantasy appeal his next time out in Atlanta, where he'll bring a 5.65 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 52:21 K:BB over 102 innings.
