Nationals Shake Up Bullpen, Recall Ribalta

0:00On May 2nd, the Washington Nationals just shook up their bullpen again, outriding lefty Sino Perez to triple a Rochester after he cleared waivers, and recalling right-hander Orlando Ribalta to the majors. The team's relief crew has been a headache all season, echoing last year's league worst ERA, though they flashed some hope by giving up just one run. And three gains against the New York Mets. Perez, a 30-year-old signed on a minor league deal this winter, couldn't recapture his solid form from 2022 and 2023. Posting a rough 6.19 ERA over 16 outings with nine strikeouts and 11 walks in 16 innings. Meanwhile, Ribalta, whose 28, gets another shot after a clean stint earlier this year, tossing two scoreless innings with one hit, one. Strikeout, no walks, and even a save way, better than his 7.03 ERA in 22 games last season. Down in the minors, Ribalta's been lights out with a 3.26 career ERA
