Weems was sent down to the minors in early August after recording a 6.57 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 24.2 innings.

Rotowire
The Nationals optioned Weems to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
Since Weems was unlikely to be available for the next two days after covering 2.1 innings out of the bullpen while giving up three earned runs on four hits in Saturday's 11-5 loss to the Phillies, the Nationals opted to move him off the 26-man active roster.

Weems made seven relief appearances for the Athletics and Diamondbacks during the 2021 campaign but struggled, as he allowed 10 runs in 5.2 innings.

The reliever gave up two runs in an inning over his other appearance with Arizona following his July 6 call-up, so he didn't make a compelling case to stick around on the 26-man active roster.
