The Nationals returned McFarland to their alternate training site in Fredericksburg on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Released by Washington on March 27, McFarland re-signed with the organization two days later on a minor-league deal. McFarland joined Washington as a member of the taxi squad for its road trip in Los Angeles over the weekend, but he'll head back to the alternate site with the Nationals electing to replace him on the taxi squad with infielder Luis Garcia.
