PJ Poulin News: Claimed by Washington

Updated on August 3, 2025 at 3:11pm

The Nationals claimed Poulin off waivers from the Tigers on Sunday.

The left-hander was added to Detroit's 40-man roster in early July but was designated for assignment Thursday. Poulin has a 3.38 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 62:17 K:BB across 42.2 innings this season at Triple-A Toledo. He'll likely report to Triple-A Rochester with his new organization but should have a good chance at making his MLB debut later on in 2025.
