MacKenzie Gore - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Dazzles in pitchers' duel Tuesday Gore came away with a no-decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Atlanta, allowing two hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Impact Matched up against fellow left-handed ace Chris Sale, Gore rose to the occasion, tossing 56 of 92 pitches for strikes before leaving the mound in a 0-0 tie that wasn't decided until the 10th inning. Gore hasn't seemed overly affected by the bout of shoulder inflammation that sidelined him briefly in early September, and through two outings since coming off the IL he's given up two runs in 10.1 innings with a 9:5 K:BB. He'll look for his first win since Aug. 10 in his final start of 2025, a rematch with Atlanta on the road early next week.

Takes loss in return Gore (5-14) took the loss against the Marlins on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four across five innings.

Impact Gore was cleared to return from the 15-day injured list Thursday after recovering from left shoulder inflammation. He got off to a rocky start by yielding two runs in the first inning, but the 26-year-old southpaw kept the Marlins off the board over the next four frames and finished with 11 whiffs on 78 pitches (50 strikes). Gore has given up three earned runs or less in each of his last five starts, and while 177 strikeouts (across 152.1 innings) is 10th best in the National League, his 14 losses is tied with Zac Gallen and Mitch Keller for fourth worst in the NL. Gore is slated to face Atlanta at home next week.

Activated ahead of Thursday's start The Nationals activated Gore (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Gore will rejoin the Nationals' rotation Thursday against the Marlins after missing the last two weeks of action with left shoulder inflammation. The southpaw did not make a rehab start, and it doesn't appear he faced live hitters while on the IL, either, settling for just a couple bullpen sessions. That means Gore could have a relatively abbreviated workload versus the Marlins.

Nationals to Activate MacKenzie Gore for Thursday's Finale with Marlins The hope was that Washington Nationals starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore’s season wasn’t done when he went on the 15-day injured list.

Coming off injured list Thursday Gore (shoulder) is scheduled to be activated off the 15-day injured list to pitch Thursday against the Marlins, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The left-hander landed on the shelf in late August due to shoulder inflammation and will rejoin the Nationals after spending the 15-day minumum on the injured list. In his last two starts before heading to the injured list, Gore allowed six earned runs with eight strikeouts and six walks across 9.1 innings.

Resumes mound work Gore (shoulder) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday and will throw off the mound again Tuesday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Gore has progressed well since landing on the 15-day injured list at the end of August with left shoulder inflammation. It's unclear whether the Nationals will ask the left-hander to make a rehab start, but Gore is tracking toward rejoining the big-league rotation at some point later this month.

Plays catch Tuesday Gore (shoulder) played catch Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Gore just landed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with left shoulder inflammation, so it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to throw. The left-hander is hoping to return on Sept. 12 when his 15 days are up, but it's too soon to know whether he'll achieve that goal.

Optimistic about 2025 return Gore (shoulder) intends to pitch again this season, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact The left-hander landed on the injured list Saturday with what the Nationals described as shoulder inflammation, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious. "It's something, the way it felt last start, where we needed to get an MRI," Gore said Saturday. "Nothing crazy showed up with significant injury. I didn't want to go on the IL, but we kind of needed to. I plan on being back as soon as I can, but we just need to clean up a few things in there and should be alright." With Washington having nothing to play for this season however, it wouldn't be a big surprise if Gore was shut down out of caution should he have any sort of hiccup once he begins throwing again. Over 27 starts and 147.1 innings this year, the 26-year-old has a 4.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 173:55 K:BB.

Lands on injured list The Nationals placed Gore on the 15-day injured list Saturday with left shoulder inflammation, retroactive to Wednesday.

Impact Gore owns a 5.92 ERA and 1.56 ERA across 24.1 innings (five starts) since the beginning of August, and it appears he came away from his most recent outing Tuesday with a shoulder issue. The Nationals haven't provided any information regarding the severity of the left-hander's injury, but for now, there's still a chance he returns in time to make a few more starts before the regular season concludes. Mason Thompson was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move.
