Have to think this brings an end to Gore’s season with a career-high 136 IP,” Zuckerman reported.</p><h2><b>Nationals: Gore placed on 15-day IL</b></h2><p>Gore, 24, is expected to be a future star by many. The young left-hander was a highly-regarded prospect and made his MLB debut in 2022 with the Padres. After posting a 4.50 ERA across 16 games pitched (13 starts), he was traded to Washington.</p><p>He <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nationals-news-mackenzie-gore-sounds-off-on-breaking-franchise-record-in-win-over-former-team" rel="noopener">displayed signs of stardom</a> in 2023 with the Nationals. That said, he also struggled at times. Overall, if Gore’s season is indeed over, he will finish the ’23 campaign with a 4.42 ERA over 27 starts. The left-hander also struck out 151 hitters across 136.1 innings pitched.</p><p>The Nationals have performed fairly well considering 2023 was always going to be a rebuilding year after trading stars like Soto, Trea Turner, and Max Scherzer in recent seasons. That said, Washington has dealt with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nationals-owner-drops-head-scratching-stephen-strasburg-spring-training-take-amid-retirement-drama" rel="noopener">off-the-field drama</a> which has placed a damper on excitement about the ball club’s future.</p><p>Still, MacKenzie Gore has a chance to emerge as a star next season. He features plenty of potential and could become the Nationals’ ace of the future.</p><p>Washington’s rebuild will continue for a year or two, but this team should be able to contend sooner than you may expect.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Things haven’t been great for the rebuilding Nats for the entire season, and things hit a new low when MacKenzie Gore and Victor Robles got into a confrontation in the dugout during their 9-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nationals-news-dave-martinez-controversial-call-astros" rel="noopener">manager Dave Martinez</a> doesn’t seem too concerned with the incident.</p><p>Gore appeared to be upset with Robles’ effort on a line drive hit to center field that he appeared to have a chance to catch. Instead, he slowed up and let the ball fall in front of him, and on the next batter, Gore allowed a two-run home run to Dylan Carlson. After the game, though, Martinez said the incident was something that happened in the heat of the moment, and that the team would be <a href="https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/37890876/nationals-mackenzie-gore-victor-robles-engage-dugout-exchange" rel="noopener">moving on from</a> it.</p><p>“They talked about it. We talked about it. It’s good. It happens. We are trying to compete. It happens. I just wanted to make sure that nothing was going to go crazy there in the dugout, so I just got in between them. It was good. Few words were said, and then it was done. Obviously, MacKenzie thought he should have caught the ball. I thought he should have caught the ball, but it was windy. I think he thought he was going to catch it easy, and the ball just died on him and he couldn’t get there.” – Dave Martinez, ESPN</p><p>Confrontations like this happen all the time in sports, so it isn’t outrageously concerning to see Gore and Robles be upset with each other. Hopefully they are able to move past this incident, as the Nationals will be looking to find their way back into the win column after losing their past five games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There were reports earlier this week that he could potentially miss the rest of the season, but that will not be the case at this point.</p><p>The southpaw left his start on Monday early with elbow soreness and went on the 15-day IL shortly after.

He’s also made three appearances out of the bullpen. Before exiting on Monday, the former first-rounder allowed two earned runs in just 1.1 innings against the Tigers.</p><p>Gore actually started the year in great form. He had a 1.71 ERA in his first eight outings. In the eight appearances since the 23-year-old has an ERA over eight. Yikes.</p><p>But, the most important thing is that he’ll be put on a throwing program in a couple of weeks if all goes well with the rehab. It’s clear what Gore is capable of. Hopefully, the time off can help him regroup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

MacKenzie Gore, former Padres top prospect and a potential trade chip in the Soto sweepstakes has landed on the 15-day IL, <a href="https://twitter.com/dennistlin/status/1552021637523943425?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1552021637523943425%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fclutchpoints.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost-new.php">according to Dennis Lin of <i>The Athletic.</i> </a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Padres placed MacKenzie Gore on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.

Gore indicated after his last start, from which he was removed in the fifth inning, that he’d been dealing with some discomfort in his elbow. It seems that the discomfort was significant enough to warrant a stint on the shelf.</p><p>In a corresponding move, the Padres have recalled Dinelson Lamet, who will take up Gore’s place in the starting rotation.</p><p>The Padres had been considered <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nationals-rumors-the-2-current-favorites-to-land-juan-soto-in-blockbuster-trade-before-deadline/">one of the top landing spots for Soto</a> at the trade deadline, though it was assumed that the Nationals would be interested in acquiring Gore in the trade. While that’s still a possibility, the young hurler landing on the IL may give Washington cold feet in regards to trading for him, which could impact the Padres’ ability to get a deal done for the trade deadline’s top prize.</p><p>The Nationals are believed to be commanding a mix of high-upside prospects and young MLB talent in any Soto deal, making Gore a perfect candidate for the Padres to balance the scales in any trade talks. The 23-year-old has featured in1 6 games this season, making 13 starts. He’s registered a 4.50 ERA with 72 strikeouts across 70.0 innings on the mound, but has struggled to limit walks, surrendering 37 bases on balls.</p><p>The Padres certainly aren’t out of the Soto sweepstakes following Gore’s injury, but the potential loss of a key trade chip may make things more difficult for GM AJ Preller to navigate.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
