Nationals Add Veteran Reliever Perez, Option Franklin & Ribalta

The Washington Nationals are finalizing their Opening Day roster for the 2026 season, adding veteran lefty reliever Cionel Perez to their bullpen. Perez, who impressed in spring training, will join the team after being optioned to Triple-A Rochester. To make room for Perez, who is not on the 40-man roster, the Nationals will need to make one more cut, with options including Jorbit Vivas and Jose Tena. The team heads to Chicago for their March 26th opener against the Cubs.
