Washington Nationals Promote Pitching Prospect Jackson Kent to Start Wednesday Against Cubs
Miles Mikolas is 3-9 with a 5.82 ERA, and Jackson Kent is set for his major league debut after a strong minor league season.
- On Wednesday, the Washington Nationals designated veteran right-hander Miles Mikolas for assignment and promoted 23-year-old prospect Jackson Kent to start against the Chicago Cubs.
- Mikolas struggled during his first season with Washington, posting a 3-9 record with a 5.82 ERA over 25 appearances after signing a one-year, $2.25 million contract in February.
- Kent, a left-handed pitcher selected in the fourth round of the 2024 draft, recorded 105 strikeouts in 94 1/3 minor league innings with a 9-4 record and 3.72 ERA across 20 starts.
- Manager Blake Butera emphasized Kent's development after his success at Triple-A Rochester, noting this marks the second time this month the Nationals have parted with a veteran starter.
- Sitting 59-62 and five games behind the Philadelphia Phillies, Washington aims to assess young arms like Kent during the season's final seven weeks as the club refocuses on prospect evaluation.
