We have another 2018 Report Card for you. The Washington Nationals certainly missed Howie Kendrick after he suffered a torn Achilles that ended his season in mid-May.
Before the injury, Kendrick had a very respectable .303 average with a .805 OPS, as well as four home runs and 12 RBI in 40 games. It’s nothing that will set the world alight, but for someone who was expected to be a rotation player, it’s excellent.
Now his focus will be trying able to get healthy in time for the 2019 season, and he should at least be ready for the start of Spring Training.
