The Washington Nationals have reportedly claimed left-handed reliever Jake McGee off waivers, according to a tweet from MLB.com's Jessica Camerato. McGee started the year with the San Francisco Giants and also spent time with the Milwaukee Brewers. All told, he's logged a 7.00 ERA, a 4.70 FIP and three saves in 27 innings of work this season. The veteran, who notched 31 saves for the Giants last season, will give the Nationals another late-inning option alongside the likes of Kyle Finnegan, Hunter Harvey and Victor Arano. Per Camerato's tweet, the Nationals designated outfielder Donovan Casey for assignment to make room for McGee on the active roster.

San Francisco Giants left-handed reliever Jake McGee was designated for assignment on Saturday. What a fall from grace for the Giant's former closer. After saving 31 games for the team last season, he has recorded just three in 2022 and has seen his role increasingly diminish throughout the season. His 7.17 ERA and 1.55 WHIP are reason enough for this move, but his underlying stats are somehow even worse, with McGee sporting an 8.27 xERA and 11.5% strikeout rate. As a lefty with a decent pedigree, he is sure to be picked up by someone, but he has next to no fantasy value anymore.
