Overview

• The team announced the left-hander’s placement on the injured list one day after his start, citing a right ankle impingement.
• Right-hander Mason Thompson also went on the 15-day IL retroactive to Sept. 20 with right biceps tendinitis, and Julian Fernandez and Orlando Ribalta were recalled.
• Gore was hit hard in his latest outing against Atlanta, recording just two innings with four earned runs, four hits, and four walks on 71 pitches.
• The ankle issue follows a brief early-September IL stint for shoulder inflammation after an All-Star first half gave way to a 6.75 ERA over 49.1 second-half innings.
• Gore is viewed as a possible winter trade candidate with two years of club control remaining, and the Padres reportedly explored a deadline deal, as Washington operates under interim GM Mike DeBartolo.
