2 years agoWashington Nationals pitcher Mason Thompson was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday. He was sent down to the minors to open a roster spot for newly claimed Jake McGee. Thompson owned a 1.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and seven strikeouts over eight innings in 2022. The 24-year-old could get the call to the big leagues when rosters expand in September. McGee has a 7.00 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with 15 strikeouts over 27 innings in 30 appearances with the Giants and Brewers in 2022. The 36-year-old is expected to serve in a middle-relief role for the Nationals and won't have much fantasy value forward.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
