MacKenzie Gore Hit Hard In Latest Rehab Start
2 years agoWashington Nationals rookie left-hander MacKenzie Gore (elbow) was hit hard in his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Rochester on Monday night, allowing six earned runs on six hits (three home runs surrendered) while walking one and striking out three in only 3 2/3 innings pitched. While the results weren't encouraging, Gore was able to throw 72 pitches in what is expected to be his final minor league tune-up before making his debut for the Nationals to close out the season. The 23-year-old southpaw is lined up to make a start this weekend against the Philadelphia Phillies, where he'll be a shaky fantasy streamer. In his first 16 big-league outings (13 starts) for the San Diego Padres before being traded at the deadline, Gore had a 4.50 ERA (4.12 FIP), a 1.47 WHIP and a 72:37 K:BB in 70 innings pitched.
