Detwiler was left off the Nationals' postseason roster, Adam Kilgore of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

With the Nationals likely to go with a four-man postseason rotation and bump Tanner Roark to long relief, the need to carry Detwiler wasn't really necessary. Detwiler finished the regular season with a 4.00 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB over 63 innings.
