FREDERICKSBURG, VA - The Washington Nationals announced on Wednesday a series of roster moves that impact the Fredericksburg Nationals pitching staff.
Michael Cuevas has been activated from the injured list, where he had been placed on May 8. The 19-year-old righty pitched in one game prior to his injury, allowing only one hit in 4.1 scoreless innings.

To make room, Jordan Bocko has been transferred to Advanced-A Wilmington and Pedro González has been transferred to the Complex League in Florida. Bocko went 0-1 with a 2.08 ERA in 13.0 relief innings for the FredNats, and González went 0-5 with a 11.17 ERA in 9.2 innings between the rotation and bullpen.
In addition, outfielder Jeremy De La Rosa has switched uniform numbers from 26 to 21.
