Andry Lara News: Returned to Double-A

The Nationals optioned Lara to Double-A Harrisburg following Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Lara made his MLB debut in the Nationals' 11-2 loss in the first game of the day, tossing three shutout innings in relief while allowing just one hit and striking out four batters. The 22-year-old righty's impressive outing isn't representative of his minor-league performance this season, however, as he owns a 7.71 ERA and 2.08 WHIP through 30.1 total innings over three levels.
