Washington Nationals right-hander Jake Irvin throws a 30-pitch simulated game on Wednesday, the first time he faces hitters since going on the injured list in May with a right shoulder strain. The simulated outing is described as his initial step back toward pitching after a shoulder issue sidelined him for much of the season. Irvin, 29, has been a regular presence in Washington’s rotation since debuting in 2023. In the games he has started this season, he is 2–4 with a 5.23 ERA across 11 starts. He has not appeared for the Nationals since May 23, when he was pulled after five no-hit innings against Atlanta. The reports indicate that, following his time on the IL, Irvin’s progression includes returning to action through bullpen or simulated-game work before any regular-season appearance. Both outlets frame the session as a milestone in his recovery timeline rather than an immediate return to game pitching.
