McFarland was released by the Nationals on Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

McFarland was in camp as a non-roster invitee but was unable to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster after posting a 3.60 ERA and 1.40 WHIP in 10 innings this spring. He'll now be able to seek out other options as a free agent ahead of the regular season.
