RHP Zack Littell agrees to 1-year contract with the Washington Nationals, AP source says

By Canadian Press on March 8, 2026.

Zack Littell has a new home after agreeing to a one-year contract with the Washington Nationals, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Sunday.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement was pending a physical. ESPN was the first to report on the move.

The contract for the veteran right-hander includes a mutual option for the 2027 season.

The 30-year-old Littell played for Tampa Bay and Cincinnati last year, going 10-8 with a 3.81 ERA. He was traded from the Rays to the Reds on July 30.

Littell set career highs with 32 starts and 186 2/3 innings in 2025. He also pitched his first career complete game in the Rays’ 16-3 victory at Houston on May 31.
