Follow the Prospects: Jackson Rutledge, RHP

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Not eligible to be recalled until 7/28 barring a pitcher being placed on the IL. Optioned on 7/13, has to spend 15 days in the minors.

[welch]

August-September reinforcement after Nats finally give up on Corbin? Deserves another start with the big team.

[imref]

Lit up for 8 runs last night

So Rutledge only pitches well when he's pitching in the majors?

2.1 innings, 4 ERA 3 hits and 4 walks.

Was sitting 92/93 with the fastball. Think its time to convert him to a reliever

Dump him. I can’t believe his spot start was good and he performs like garbage in the minors.

3.1 innings, 6 runs, 7 hits, and 2 walks. Had five strikeouts, 3 before the second out of the second.

I’ve concluded (shocker I know) that Rutledge sucks.

Yeah, turns 26 next year.  Time is running out quickly.

Time to turn him into a reliever

[imref]

it seems pretty obvious the team doesn't have a lot of faith in him with Parker and Herz both passing him on the depth chart. This was his year to take a step forward after staying healthy last year. Now he's just organizational filler unless they find value out of him as a reliever.

[blue911]

Time to turn him into a reliever

Yep

[aspenbubba]

Just freaking DFA him.

[imref]

not sure where this came from: 7.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 4BB, 8Ks. Left with a 3-0 lead before Weems melted down in the 9th.

4 walks in 7 IP in the minors when you're 25 is hardly a great accomplishment

7 shutout innings is pretty good, especially with 8 strikeouts. He has been hurt over and over. Slate says that he ought to be a relief pitcher...

[imref]

Well, he finished strong. 6IP tonight with 2H, 0R, 4BB, 4Ks

[welch]

Rutledge promoted to the Nats to replace DJ Herz, who pitched his last game a couple days ago. Rutledge can be a reliever.
