Jarlin Susana Set to Begin Rehab Assignment at High-A
Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday with the team's High-A affiliate, the Wilmington Blue Rocks. The Nats' second-ranked prospect has been on the shelf for 2 1/2 months with a UCL sprain that ultimately did not require surgery. The 21-year-old right-hander logged a 4.15 ERA and an ugly 1.69 WHIP through his first six starts this season, due in part to some control issues that crept back in, walking batters at a 14.8 percent rate before the injury. The 6-foot-6 hurler rode his fastball that can hit triple digits to a 31.1 percent strikeout rate, and if he can regain control of the zone, then he could be an impactful pitcher for fantasy. The Dominican is a pitcher for dynasty managers to watch to see how he finishes out the year, as he could be in the majors as soon as 2026.
