Faring better in bulk relief
Mikolas (2-5) notched the win Sunday against the Mariners, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings of relief. He struck out three.
Analyse
After beginning the season in the rotation, Mikolas has been far more effective behind an opener in 2026. The 37-year-old right-hander has an 8.28 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB over 25 frames as a starter, but he sports a 3.56 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 43 innings as a bulk reliever. Given his stark splits depending on how he's deployed, the Nationals figure to continue using Mikolas behind an opener during his next scheduled outing in Tampa Bay.

Handling bulk-relief role
Mikolas is expected to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher PJ Poulin in Sunday's game against the Mariners, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
Analyse
Mikolas will be making his sixth straight appearance as a bulk reliever, this time working behind Poulin after lefty Richard Lovelady served as the Nationals' opener in Mikolas' previous turn through the rotation Monday against the Giants. The veteran right-hander has gone 0-2 with a 4.32 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in 25 innings over his last five outings.

Solid in bulk relief Monday
Mikolas allowed three hits and no walks while striking out two over 4.2 scoreless innings of bulk relief Monday against the Giants.
Analyse
Entering in the second inning following opener Richard Lovelady, Mikolas didn't miss many bats but kept the Giants' offense off the board before exiting after 54 pitches (41 strikes). It was a nice rebound outing after he surrendered six runs across six frames in his previous start against the Marlins, though the right-hander's season numbers remain quite poor. Mikolas will take a 1-5 record with a 5.90 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 61 innings (14 appearances) into his next outing, which is tentatively scheduled for Sunday against the Mariners.
