The Washington Nationals claimed left-handed pitcher Ken Waldichuk from the Rays, designating George Soriano for assignment. Despite a poor minor league ERA over 8 last year, Waldichuk, a former top 100 prospect, boasts a career K/9 rate of 13.02. After undergoing Tommy John Surgery and struggling in 2024, he showed potential with improved velocity in offseason bullpens. The Nats may benefit from transitioning him to a bullpen role, given his struggles as a starter.
