Nationals Promote Former First-Round Pick Jackson Rutledge 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Sep 13, 2023 11:37 am

The Washington Nationals will promote right-hander Jackson Rutledge to make his Major League debut on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Washington has an open spot in their rotation after placing MacKenzie Gore on the injured list with a blister. 

Rutledge, 24, had split the season between Double- and Triple-A. In 23 combined starts, he had amassed a 3.71 ERA and a 1.93 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

The Nationals originally drafted Rutledge with the 17th pick in 2019 by way of San Jacinto College in Houston.
