EDGE Analysis

Ryan Tepera (elbow) landed on the injured list, so Cordero was summoned to take his spot in the bullpen. Cordero, who was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays last week, gave up 10 earned runs while striking out 19 in 16 innings out of the bullpen at Triple-A this season.

EDGE Analysis

This move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Gerardo Parra, who was signed to a major-league deal in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old Cordero struggled to a 6.00 ERA, 1.73 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB in 15 innings with Triple-A Fresno prior to being DFA'd. He made 22 appearances for the Nationals in 2018, posting a 5.68 ERA, 1.84 WHIP and 12:12 K:BB in 19 innings.

Cordero was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cordero will open the season back in the minors after struggling to a 9.00 ERA through five spring appearances. The 27-year-old, who struggled to a 5.68 ERA in his first taste of the majors last season, will provide bullpen depth for the Nationals.

Cordero was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of Saturday's game against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cordero has appeared in two games for the Nationals in 2018, allowed two runs while striking out one over 2.1 frames. He'll provide an additional arm out of Washington's bullpen during his latest stint in the major leagues.

The Nationals optioned Cordero to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cordero will return to the minors to clear a spot in the Washington bullpen for Greg Holland, who officially inked a contract with the team Tuesday. During his first big-league callup, Cordero made two appearances, giving up two earned runs on two hits and four walks over 2.1 innings.

The Nationals selected Cordero's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cordero will assume the 40-man and active roster spot of fellow reliever Shawn Kelley, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old Cordero, who has yet to make his MLB debut, posted a 1.67 ERA and 47 strikeouts across 43 innings at Syracuse this season.

Cordero was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Monday, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cordero was ousted from the 40-man roster to clear room for Brandon Kintzler, who was acquired from the Twins on Monday. The 25-year-old struggled to a 6.54 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 42.2 innings with Double-A Harrisburg this season, so there's a good chance he'll slip through waivers untouched and return to Double-A.

Cordero was returned to the Nationals' minor league camp Monday, The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The former Phillies farmhand dealt with shoulder issues last season, but Cordero's strikeout potential could allow him to factor into the Nationals' bullpen mix down the road if he gets off to a good start at Triple-A Syracuse this year.

Cordero (shoulder) has yet to give up a run this spring, tossing two innings with two strikeouts and two hits allowed.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old dealt with a shoulder strain at the end of last season, but it seems that ailment is fully in the rearview mirror now. One of the most remarkable things from Cordero's two outings was his control: all 11 pitches he's thrown thus far have been strikes. He's had control issues in the past, so if he can continue to fill the zone moving forward, that could help him rise to the major league level sometime later in the season.
