Joe Ross was (1-0) in three starts with a 7.47 ERA (13 ER in 15 2⁄3 IP), a 6.15 FIP, four walks, 14 Ks and a .303/.348/.615 line against before he was sent back down to AAA Syracuse earlier this month.
Ross started the season with Washington’s top minor league affiliate since the Nats didn’t need a fifth starter over the first few weeks of the 2017 campaign.
