Nationals Place MacKenzie Gore on 15-Day IL With Shoulder Inflammation

Gore says he expects to return after the minimum 15 days.

Overview

  • The move is retroactive to Aug. 27, and the team recalled reliever Mason Thompson from Triple-A Rochester.
  • After his first All-Star selection, Gore has posted a 7.54 ERA over eight starts since the break.
  • For the season, he has a 4.15 ERA across 147.1 innings with 173 strikeouts.
  • The Nationals declined trade offers for Gore at the deadline under interim GM Mike DeBartolo, a decision now drawing scrutiny following his slump and injury.
  • Gore is under club control through the 2027 season, a factor in how the team weighs his value and timeline.
