Irvin Returns to Start vs Braves | Atlanta Braves News

The Nationals are turning to Jake Irvin for a big moment, activating him off the IL just in time for a crucial series against the Braves. After a solid rehab stint in Double-A—eight scoreless innings, nine strikeouts—Irvin gets his first major league start facing Atlanta’s potent lineup. His recent struggles (5.23 ERA) are behind him, but the real test is whether he can translate his rehab success to the big leagues. With Trevor Williams also returning and the team juggling roles, Irvin might pivot to the bullpen later—depending on how he fares now. This game could define his path forward as the Nationals navigate the trade deadline and reshape their pitching depth.
