Brzykcy cleared waivers Friday and was sent outright to Triple-A Jacksonville, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brzykcy was claimed off waivers in November after he posted a 9.00 ERA and 1.74 WHIP in 23 innings with the Nationals this year. He'll remain in the organization but lose his roster spot, giving Miami an opening on the 40-man heading into the Rule 5 Draft.

The Marlins claimed Brzykcy off waivers Thursday from the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Brzykcy appeared in 26 games with the Nationals in 2025, posting a 9.00 ERA and a 24:12 K:BB across 23 innings. He closed out the season at Triple-A Rochester, but he logged a 17.18 ERA across 11 innings with Rochester after being optioned there Aug. 5. Brzykcy will get a fresh start in Miami.

The Nationals optioned Brzykcy to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander reportedly had a chance to enter Washington's high-leverage mix after closer Kyle Finnegan was traded last week, but Brzykcy will instead be demoted after giving up six runs over one-third of an inning Sunday against the Brewers. The 26-year-old has a 9.00 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB across 23 major-league innings this season.

Brzykcy might be part of the ninth-inning mix for the Nationals with Kyle Finnegan having been traded to the Tigers, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old right-hander's numbers in 2025 jump off the page in a bad way, as he carries a 7.06 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB over 21.2 innings. Brzykcy does have a 46.3 percent whiff rate on his changeup to go along with a mid-90s fastball and effective curve, and that might be the closest thing to a true out pitch in the Washington bullpen at the moment. He's a long shot to claim the closer role outright, but Brzykcy could be part of a ninth-inning committee with lefty Jose Ferrer and righty Cole Henry.

The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll fill one of openings in the bullpen that was created by the Nationals trading righty Luis Garcia and lefty Andrew Chafin to the Angels earlier Wednesday. Brzykcy has surrendered 17 earned runs over 20.2 frames during his time with the big club this season.

The Nationals optioned Brzykcy to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Brzykcy has been getting hit around quite a bit as of late, surrendering nine earned runs in just 3.2 innings across his last five outings. He'll head back to Triple-A in an effort to right the ship, clearing a spot in the Nationals' bullpen for Mason Thompson (elbow) to return from the IL.

The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Brzykcy will join the Nationals' bullpen as a replacement for Lucas Sims, who was released by the team Friday. Brzykcy has given up two earned runs while striking out nine batters in 4.2 innings at Triple-A, and he gave up one run in one inning during his season debut for Washington on Tuesday. He'll likely fill in as a low-leverage arm for now.

The Nationals optioned Brzykcy to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brzykcy will return to the minors after he was summoned from Rochester to serve as the Nationals' 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Guardians. The righty reliever pitched the final inning of the Nationals' 9-1 loss in Game 2, giving up one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out a batter.

The Nationals recalled Brzykcy from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brzykcy will serve as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians. The 25-year-old began the season on the 15-day injured list with a quad strain, but he's healthy now and has yielded just two runs with a 14:3 K:BB over 7.2 innings in the minors in 2025.

The Nationals reinstated Brzykcy (quadriceps) from the 15-day injured list Friday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was sidelined for the first month of the campaign due to a quadriceps strain, but he won't join the big club upon the completion of his four-game rehab assignment. Brzykcy received his first taste of the majors last season with six relief appearances and gave up nine earned runs over 5.2 innings.
