Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters after Tuesday's game against the Cubs that Irvin will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to make the start against Chicago on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Irvin will be making his MLB debut in the start against the Cubs on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has made five starts and thrown 22.1 innings for Rochester with a 5.64 ERA and 20:11 K:BB ratio. The Nationals have already sent down Cory Abbott to make room for Irvin on the roster. Whether Irvin makes multiple starts for Washington will be determined in part by how he pitches against the Cubs come Wednesday.

Washington optioned Irvin to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Irvin will head to Triple-A after splitting last season between High- and Double-A. He was added to the 40-man roster over the offseason and could push for a debut at some point in 2023.

Irvin's contract was selected by the Nationals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
In his first season since undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2020, Irvin spent most of 2022 in Double-A Harrisburg, where he put up a 4.79 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 73.1 innings. He still has work to do, but there's a chance the 25-year-old righty could work his way onto the big-league roster within the next couple of seasons.

Irvin (elbow) is fully healthy and has pitched well during spring training, Lacy Lusk of Baseball America reports.
EDGE Analysis
Irvin underwent Tommy John surgery in October 2020 but is now fully recovered entering this season. He last saw game action at the Low-A level in 2019 and had a 4.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 113:38 K:BB over 128.1 innings.

Irvin underwent Tommy John surgery last week, Byron Kerr of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old righty spent the year as part of the Nationals' player pool but did not get into the game, hardly a surprise as he spent the entirety of 2019 at the Low-A level. The timing of the surgery means he'll miss the entirety of the 2021 season but should be ready to go for spring training in 2022.
