Strong in start
Cornelio struck out four over three perfect innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Tuesday.
Analyse
Cornelio worked the opening part of this bullpen game for the Nationals, but he did his job well in getting through the Padres' order cleanly on 36 pitches (24 strikes). He has functioned primarily as a long reliever this season, posting a 5.26 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 27:21 K:BB over 25.2 innings across 13 games. Cornelio's strong performance isn't likely to lead to more starts -- the Nationals have enough off days ahead to get by with a four-man rotation until Connelly Early (elbow) comes off the injured list for his team debut.

Tapped to start Tuesday
Cornelio will start Tuesday's game against the Padres, Kyle Williams of TheBanner.com reports.
Analyse
Cornelio has pitched in 12 games out of the Nationals bullpen this season, registering a 5.96 ERA, 1.81 WHIP and 23:21 K:BB across 22.2 frames. Given that he hasn't covered more than 2.2 innings in any of his appearance with Washington or Triple-A Rochester since the All-Star break, Cornelio will be limited from a workload standpoint Tuesday and could be operating as more of an opening pitcher in a bullpen game.
