    Nationals designated RHP Jhancarlos Lara for assignment.

    Lara, 23, was claimed off waivers from the Braves two weeks ago. The 23-year-old has never pitched in the majors and probably won’t any time soon. He has a 10.13 ERA, 31 walks and 10 wild pitches in 16 innings in Double-A this year.

    Lara went unclaimed on waivers after being removed from Washington’s 40-man roster last week. The 23-year-old was claimed off waivers from Atlanta back in mid-June. He’ll presumably stick around as organizational depth for the Nationals.

    WSH Starting Pitcher #78
    The 23-year-old hurler was designated for assignment on Wednesday after posting an 8.22 ERA and 21/29 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings at Double-A Mississippi. The Nationals see something they can work with though and will give him a 40-man roster spot for the time being.

    Lara was in Double-A for the Braves, pitching to an 8.22 ERA in 15 1/3 innings. He did have 21 strikeouts but also 29 walks, which is a continuing of command issues that have plagued his career.

    ATL Relief Pitcher #81
    Lara was called up last Friday and heads back to the minors without making his major-league debut. The 22-year-old righty has missed a ton of bats in the upper minors, but he’s also registered an astronomical walk rate too. He’s the definition of a work in progress.
  • Jhancarlos Lara
    ATL Starting Pitcher
    Lara, 22, is getting a late look here despite going 0-9 with a 7.73 ERA between Double- and Triple-A this season. In 68 2/3 innings over 14 starts and 20 relief appearances, he’s struck out 104 and walked 65, also mixing in 10 hit by pitches. The stuff is there to make him a dynamite reliever if he can fix his control problems, though the Braves have had him starting games again recently.

    Jacob Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI as the White Sox took down the Orioles 9-3 on Tuesday.

    A week ago, Gonzalez was hitting .163 and seemed like a lock to be sent down to the minors once Munetaka Murakami came off the IL, if not before. However, his last six games have seen him go 11-for-24 with four doubles, a homer and 12 RBI, putting him at .260/.340/.397 in 82 plate appearances overall. He’s still not promised anything, but given that he can play anywhere in the infield, he now certainly has a chance of sticking around once Murakami comes back.

    Erick Fedde yielded three runs in five innings Tuesday in a victory over the Orioles.

    Fedde won for the second time in nine starts and third time overall in 17 appearances for the White Sox this season. He’s been adequate in posting a 4.41 ERA in spite of a 53/33 K/BB through 79 2/3 innings. The White Sox might be able to do better at some point, but they’ll stick with him for now and have him face the Guardians, perhaps behind a left-handed opener, on Sunday.

    Tyler Schweitzer threw four scoreless innings in relief to pick up a save in a 9-3 game against the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Schweitzer’s first outing since being recalled on Saturday was his longest in five major league appearances and 19 outings in Triple-A this season. He gave up four hits, walked none and struck out three while throwing 46 pitches, 36 of which were strikes. His reward is probably going to be a demotion, since the White Sox need to activate Noah Schultz from the IL on Wednesday, but at least he helped his stock some tonight.

    Trey Gibson was lit up for eight runs in 2 2/3 innings by the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Gibson gave up two homers, five other hits and six walks in his worst outing to date. Since being recalled on June 8, he’s allowed 22 runs in 20 2/3 innings, with the Orioles losing all five of his starts. One would think he’ll be sent down after this to make room for the returning Dean Kremer.

    Andrew Benintendi went 3-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk versus the Orioles on Tuesday.

    The White Sox might actually be able to get out from under some of Benintendi’s contract this summer if this keeps up. He’s hit .284/.360/.597 in June to improve to .247/.302/.443 overall. That he has no real defensive value is a problem, so the White Sox will certainly have to pay down a part of the $14.5 million he’s owed in the final year of his deal next season. Still, things are looking up from where they were a couple of months ago, when it seemed the team might be best served by just releasing him.

He later added another single and a run scored in the seventh. The 23-year-old super-utility man is hitting .275/.312/.404 with three homers, 19 runs scored, 32 RBI and five steals across 206 plate appearances.

    Moniak put the Rockies on the board with a solo home run off Eury Pérez in the first inning. He later drew a walk in the sixth. The home run snapped a three-game hitless streak for the 28-year-old outfielder. He’s up to 13 on the season with 32 RBI while hitting .260/.314/.561 across 188 plate appearances.

    Eury Pérez allowed one run and struck out eight batters over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Pérez served up a solo homer to Mickey Moniak in the first inning. He settled in nicely, holding the Rockies without another run into the sixth, scattering one more hit and four walks. Pérez generated an impressive 19 whiffs to strike out eight batters. The 23-year-old right-hander hasn’t missed a beat in his two starts off the injured list, giving up just one run in each. He’ll take a 4.21 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and an 81/32 K/BB ratio across 72 2/3 innings into a start against the Athletics in Sacramento on Sunday.

    Tanner Gordon allowed five runs and struck out four batters over five innings in a loss against the Marlins on Tuesday.

    The Marlins brought a run across to score in the first inning on two hits. Two more hits plated a second run in the second inning. Gordon gave up three more in the third on a three-run blast by Javier Sanoja. Gordon gave the Rockies two more scoreless frames before departing at 74 pitches through five innings. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 6.69 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, and a 39/8 K/BB ratio across 40 1/3 innings into a start against the Giants in Colorado on Sunday.
