Nationals Calling up Top Prospect for MLB Debut
After just two seasons in the minor leagues, the Washington Nationals are reportedly calling up starting pitcher Jackson Kent.
The Washington Nationals are set to call up left-handed starting pitcher Jackson Kent from Triple-A Rochester for his MLB debut ahead of their upcoming series against the Chicago Cubs, according to The Athletic. This move comes just two seasons after Kent joined the minor leagues, as the Nationals designated their right-hander Zack Littell for assignment last week.
Promoted to Triple-A on May 21, Kent is the team's No. 8 overall prospect. The Nationals' rotation will now feature Kent alongside Cade Cavalli, Jake Irvin, Miles Mikolas, and Andrew Alvarez.
