CSNWashington.com’s Mark Zuckerman reports that right-handed pitcher Ross Ohlendorf has elected to become a free agent after being activated from the 60-day disabled list Tuesday afternoon and outrighted off the Nationals’ 40-man roster.
Ohlendorf was hampered by a lingering back injury for much of the 2014 season, but the 32-year-old former fourth-round pick of the Diamondbacks registered a cool 3.28 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 45/14 K/BB ratio across 60 1/3 innings (seven starts and nine relief appearances) for the Nats in 2013. There should be major league offers out there for him this winter.
