DJ Herz Optioned To Triple-A Rochester
5 months agoThe Washington Nationals optioned pitcher DJ Herz to Triple-A Rochester ahead of the team's series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals. Herz would have started one more game before the All-Star break, but the Nationals have opted to send him down anyway. Mark Zuckerman of MASN said this move will likely save some innings for later. As a result, fantasy managers can assume Herz will return shortly after the All-Star break. The left-hander currently owns a 5.17 ERA across his first seven major league starts. In two of those outings, the 23-year-old struck out at least 10 batters, so there is some appeal in still stashing him in most 12-plus team leagues. In his place, Joan Adon took his spot on the active roster and should draw a start this week.
