MacKenzie Gore Strikes Out Two In Rehab Outing
2 years agoWashington Nationals rookie left-hander MacKenzie Gore (elbow) allowed no runs on four hits while walking two and striking out two in 2 2/3 innings in his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Rochester on Friday night. Gore made his first rehab start last Sunday and is getting closer to making his debut for Washington after being acquired from the San Diego Padres at the trade deadline in the deal that sent Juan Soto and Josh Bell to San Diego. The 23-year-old southpaw made his major-league debut with the Padres earlier this year and went 4-4 with a 4.50 ERA (4.11 FIP), a 1.47 WHIP, 72 K's and 37 walks in 70 innings over 16 outings (13 starts). Barring a setback on his rehab assignment, he should join the Nats' rotation to close out the year.
