MacKenzie Gore News
Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore had a superb outing on Saturday against the Oakland A's, striking out 11 batters without giving up a run in five innings. Gore was credited with his second win of the season as well as the Nationals won 3-1. The lefty's dominant performance helped decrease his ERA to 2.81 after three starts. Gore's increase in strikeouts were a great sight to see for fantasy managers who have been anxious for the lefty to recapture the hype that was behind him when he was coming up with the San Diego Padres. Though his start to the season has been promising, expectations may need to be tempered during his next start on Friday when the Houston Astros play in Washington DC.
Washington Nationals pitcher MacKenzie Gore endured a rather interesting outing on Sunday against the New York Mets. The left-hander worked 4 2/3 innings and was roughed up for eight earned runs on nine hits, including one homer, and walked two. At the same time, he racked up a whopping 10 strikeouts to give him 19 punchouts across 15 1/3 innings this spring, albeit alongside a 5.87 ERA. He had largely pitched well across his first three Grapefruit League outings but the odd outing on Sunday skyrocketed his spring ERA. The former Padres top prospect worked to a 4.42 ERA and a solid 16.2% K-BB% across 27 starts with the Nationals last season before a finger injury ended his campaign. ATC projects similar numbers for him this time around, making Gore a middling fantasy asset, albeit with solid strikeout numbers.
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez confirmed that left-hander MacKenzie Gore's (finger) season is over. The team was close to shutting him down innings-wise anyway, but his blister was the deciding factor. The Nationals put Gore on the 15-day injured list last Saturday due to the blister on one of his left fingers, and now he's officially done for the rest of the year. The 24-year-old southpaw had a decent first full season in the big leagues in 2023 in his first year in D.C., going 7-10 with a 4.42 ERA (4.89 FIP), 1.40 WHIP, 57 walks and 151 strikeouts in 136 1/3 innings over 27 starts for the Nats. Gore will look to build on that in his third major-league season in 2024.

Washington Nationals left-hander MacKenzie Gore posted decent totals in his first full year in the majors last season. Gore struck out 151 batters over 131 1/3 innings, posting a solid 25.9 K% (69th percentile per Baseball Savant) in 2023. Overall, Gore pitched to a 4.42 ERA and a 4.89 FIP with a 1.40 WHIP, showing glaring issues in his command with a 3.8 BB:9. With a guaranteed rotation spot on a less-than-optimal Nationals team, Gore could be a fantasy gem if he can better control his pitches. The 25-year-old has yet to show us that he can consistently throw strikes and won't win many games on a bad Nationals team. ATC projects Gore with a 4.29 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP with a poor 3.72 BB/9. He is worth a late-round flyer at his average consensus ADP of 317, but no more than that.
