Kranick Designated After Rough Season | Washington Nationals News

The Mets kicked off their series against the Giants with a solid 10-6 victory on Friday, extending their win streak to two games. It's good to see them putting some wins together, especially as other teams are making moves. Speaking of moves, the Washington Nationals recently designated former Mets pitcher Max Kranik for assignment. This comes after a pretty rough stretch for the 29-year-old. It has pitched in 17 games for the Nationals this year, holding a zero win, one loss record with an 11-strike out count, and a really high earned run average of 9.33. His last outing against the braze was particularly rough, giving up five earned runs and just over an inning. This move means Kranik is now on waivers, and any team can pick him up if they see potential. It's been a tough season for him at the major league level, and this designation is a significant development. It's a stark contrast to his performance with the Mets last season, where he had a much
