Nationals Sign Luis Cessa To Minor-League Deal
1 year agoThe Washington Nationals signed free-agent right-hander Luis Cessa to a minor-league deal on Thursday and assigned him to Triple-A Rochester. Cessa began the 2023 season with the Cincinnati Reds but was cut after going 1-4 with an ugly 9.00 ERA (5.44 FIP), 2.23 WHIP, 12 walks and 11 strikeouts in seven appearances (six starts) covering 26 innings. He then latched on with the Colorado Rockies and posted an 8.44 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in six starts for Triple-A Albuquerque in the minor leagues before being cut for the second time this year. The 31-year-old could eventually make it back to the big leagues with the last-place Nationals, but he's obviously well off the fantasy radar. Cessa has a 4.43 career ERA, 1.33 WHIP and weak 18.3% strikeout rate in eight big-league seasons.
