In Arizona Fall League action, the Salt River Rafters surrendered an early six-run lead to fall 12-10 against Scottsdale. Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana started for Salt River, requiring 63 pitches to secure eight outs while walking four, striking out six, and giving up one unearned run. Teo Banks added a double, an RBI, and a stolen base in the defeat.

Off the field, the Nationals acquired utility player Nate Furman in a trade that sent non-drafted free agent Tony Neubeck away. Washington also parted ways with several players, releasing Jose Tena, Mitchell Parker, Richard Lovelady, and Poulin, with Parker subsequently claimed by the Atlanta Braves. Luke Erickson expressed strong approval of the Furman acquisition, praising his plate discipline and roster flexibility.
