Nationals re-acquire LHP Richard Lovelady from Mets

The Washington Nationals re-acquired left-handed reliever Richard Lovelady from the New York Mets on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

Last month, the Mets acquired Lovelady off waivers from the Nationals.

Also on Thursday, Washington transferred left-hander Ken Waldichuk to the 60-day injured list to make room on the roster for Lovelady.

Lovelady, 30, is 1-1 with a 3.68 ERA in six relief appearances this season with New York.

He is 6-14 with a 5.25 ERA and three saves in 124 career relief appearances with six teams since his 2019 debut.
