Nationals Call Up LHP Jackson Kent for MLB Debut
Washington is promoting 23-year-old lefty Jackson Kent from Triple-A Rochester to fill a rotation vacancy, with his debut start confirmed for Wednesday vs. Chicago.
The Nationals are selecting the contract of left-hander Jackson Kent from Triple-A Rochester, marking his first MLB call-up. Kent, a 2024 fourth-round pick out of Arizona, posted a 3.72 ERA with a 27.2% strikeout rate in 94.1 innings at Rochester this season. He will start Wednesday against the Cubs, per manager Blake Butera. Kent steps into a rotation spot opened by the DFA of Zack Littell and the trade of Foster Griffin to Cleveland.
