MacKenzie Gore To Throw Bullpen Tuesday
2 years agoWashington Nationals rookie left-hander MacKenzie Gore (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves before heading back to Triple-A Rochester for another minor league rehab start. "He's scheduled to go back and have another rehab start. So, we're going to try to push him for maybe 60-65 pitches and get him those four ups," skipper Dave Martinez said. Gore's next rehab start for Rochester will come on Friday after he tossed 36 pitches in his first rehab start last Sunday. Barring a setback, the Nationals expect the 23-year-old southpaw to make his Nationals debut before the end of the season. In his first 16 major-league outings (13 starts) for the Padres before being traded, Gore was 4-4 with a 4.50 ERA (4.11 FIP), a 1.47 WHIP, 72 K's and 37 walks in 70 innings.
