MacKenzie Gore Officially Named Friday's Starter
3 years agoSan Diego Padres pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore will make his MLB debut on Friday against the Atlanta Braves, according to Padres manager Bob Melvin. Fellow starting pitcher Blake Snell (adductor) is heading to the injured list and Gore will be promoted to take his place in the rotation. The 23-year-old Gore looked great in his Triple-A debut this year, pitching five scoreless innings and allowing just two hits and no walks while striking out seven. The left-hander is a must-add for fantasy managers in all formats due to his immense upside. However, he'll certainly have his work cut out for him in his debut as he'll face a tough Braves offense.
