Ryan Loutos News: Sent to Triple-A

The Nationals optioned Loutos to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

Loutos allowed eight runs (six earned) over 4.1 innings during his six appearances with the Nationals, although most of that damage came in one disastrous outing versus the Dodgers. He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Andrew Chafin (hamstring), who was activated from the injured list.
