Zachary Kent: Breaking News

Optioned to Triple-A

The Nationals optioned Kent to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday. Kent allowed two runs over 2.2 innings in a relief outing Thursday versus the Reds. He threw 42 pitches in the appearance, so with Kent likely to be unavailable for a day or two, the Nationals will likely replace him with a fresh bullpen arm prior to Friday's tilt against the Orioles.

Joins big-league bullpen

The Nationals recalled Kent from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday. Kent was just claimed off waivers Sunday and will now join the Nationals' bullpen to provide a fresh arm. The 28-year-old made two relief appearances for the Twins earlier this season, allowing five runs (two earned) with a 2:5 K:BB over 3.2 innings.

Finds home in new organization

The Nationals claimed Kent off waivers from the Twins on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester. Kent has bounced around aplenty over the last six months, with Washington now marking the fifth different stop for the righty reliever during that stretch. Though Kent will head to Triple-A, a strong showing in his initial appearances with Rochester could put him on the fast track to a Washington bullpen lacking in dependable arms.
