In his visit with 106.7 the FAN in D.C.’s Sports Junkies this Wednesday, Washington Nationals’ GM Mike Rizzo told the Junkies he thought lefty MacKenzie Gore, barring any setbacks or a hiccup in his between-starts work, would likely be able to make his debut with the Nats this season, in one of the final few games.
“I would expect to see him sometime in one of the last handful of games down the stretch here,” Rizzo said.
Gore, 23, is a 2017 1st Round pick by the San Diego Padres, acquired by the Nationals in the trade deadline deal for Juan Soto and Josh Bell back on August 2nd.
