Phillies signed RHP Max Kranick to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Kranick, 29, spent the 2026 season in the Nationals’ organization where he registered a 9.33 ERA, 2,18 WHIP and an 11/13 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings at the MLB level. He’ll get a chance to compete for a spot in the Phillies’ bullpen with a strong showing in Grapefruit League play.

Max Kranick has elected free agency.

The 29-year-old right-hander made 17 forgettable appearances at the MLB level for the Nationals during the 2026 campaign, compiling a 9.33 ERA, 2.18 WHIP and an 11/13 K/BB ratio over 18 1/3 innings of work. He’s now free to start peddling his wares on the open market.

Nationals sent RHP Max Kranick outright to Triple-A Rochester.

Kranick lost his spot with Washington after allowing 19 runs over 18 1/3 innings since returning from the injured list in mid-July. The 29-year-old reliever will presumably stick around with the Nationals to wrap up the season.

Nationals designated RHP Max Kranick for assignment.

Kranick had a 9.33 ERA and an 11/13 K/BB in 18 1/3 innings since returning from elbow surgery in July. That’s probably not going to get him claimed off waivers.

Nationals activated RHP Max Kranick (elbow) from the 60-day injured list.

Kranick underwent flexor tendon surgery in August of last season and will make his season debut when he gets into a game. The 28-year-old posted a 3.65 ERA over 37 innings with the Mets last year and should be a solid contributor to the Nationals’ bullpen, something they desperately need.

Max Kranick (elbow) was charged with three runs — two earned — over 1 1/3 innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Kranick signed a one-year deal with the Nationals, that includes a club option for 2027, back in early May. There’s optimism he’ll be ready to help their struggling bullpen mix out at some point after the All-Star break. The 28-year-old is coming off flexor tendon surgery that ended his season last July.

Nationals transferred RHP Max Kranick to the 60-day injured list.

The procedural move frees up a spot on Washington’s 40-man roster for newly acquired lefty Carson Palmquist. Kranick signed a one-year deal with a club option for 2027 earlier this month. He’s expected to be ready to contribute at some point later this season while working his way back from last year’s elbow surgery.

Nationals signed RHP Max Kranick to a one-year contract with a club option for 2027.

The deal is now official. Kranick will factor into Washington’s relief mix at some point later this season as he continues his rehabilitation process from last year’s elbow surgery. The 28-year-old was putting together an extremely encouraging Mets debut with a 3.65 ERA across 37 innings last year before requiring season-ending surgery.
