WASHINGTON (AP) Right-hander Trevor Rosenthal has been released by the Washington Nationals, who ran out patience waiting for the reliever to return to form.
Rosenthal ends his three-month stint in Washington with a 0-1 record and an unsightly 22.74 ERA. The Nationals made the move Sunday, less than 24 hours after Rosenthal walked all three batters he faced in a 13-9 loss to Atlanta.
After having Tommy John surgery in 2017, Rosenthal sat out last season before signing as a free agent with Washington in November. The Nationals were hopeful he would pitch as he did in 2014 and 2015 with St. Louis, when he totaled 93 saves.
The 29-year-old Rosenthal appeared in 12 games with Washington, issuing 15 walks and allowing 16 earned runs in 6 1/3 innings.
