Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Nationals in March of 2026.
Claims spot in bullpen
The Nationals announced Wednesday that Varland won a spot on the Opening Day roster.
Analysis
The 29-year-old right-hander didn't pitch in the majors at all in 2025 and threw only 6.1 innings in the minors in the White Sox system, but Varland looked healthy this spring while posting a 5.23 ERA and 13:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings. The back of the Washington bullpen is unsettled, and Varland could work his way into a high-leverage role with a quick start to the campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On taxi squad
Varland joined the Dodgers as a member of the taxi squad ahead of Sunday's game in Toronto, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Analysis
The right-hander isn't currently poised to join the big-league roster, but he could provide some much-needed depth for Los Angeles if Sunday's bullpen game doesn't go smoothly. Varland made two early-season appearances for the Dodgers and allowed two runs on a hit and a hit-by-pitch while he recorded just two outs.
