Nationals Place LHP MacKenzie Gore on 15-Day IL with Shoulder Inflammation

MacKenzie Gore's shoulder inflammation has affected his recent pitching performance, leading to a 7.54 ERA over his last eight starts, as the Nationals adjust their roster accordingly.

  • The Nationals announced Saturday that MacKenzie Gore was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to August 27 due to left shoulder inflammation after an MRI revealed minor issues.
  • The left-hander's year splits into a strong first half and second half struggles that led to his injured list placement.
  • Over the season, Gore's metrics include a 5-13 record with a 4.15 ERA in 27 starts, and in his last eight starts he is 1-5 with a 7.54 ERA, allowing 31 earned runs in 37 innings.
  • Washington recalled right-hander Mason Thompson from Triple-A Rochester, who has a 13.50 ERA in six appearances, while MacKenzie Gore expects to be back after 15 days.
  • Despite the setback, the Nationals consider MacKenzie Gore a "cornerstone" under team control through 2027, marking his third late-season injury after 2022 left elbow inflammation and 2023 finger blisters.
