Zak Kent is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Friday to take the roster spot vacated by Gus Varland.

Kent, 28, has made four appearances with the Nationals this season, compiling a 6.35 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 5/0 K/BB ratio over 5 2/3 frames. He’ll add a fresh arm to a bullpen that has been taxed in recent days.

Nationals optioned RHP Zak Kent to Triple-A Rochester.

The right-hander made four appearances during his brief stay with the Nationals, posting a 6.35 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 5/0 K/BB ratio across 5 2/3 innings. He threw 42 pitches during Thursday afternoon’s blowout loss to the Reds and wasn’t going to be available for a few days, so they’ll swap him out for a fresh arm. Expect that corresponding move to be announced on Friday.

Twins optioned RHP Zak Kent to Triple-A St. Paul.

Kent was hit hard in his first two outings for the Twins, posting a 4.91 ERA, 2.46 WHIP and a cringe-inducing 2/5 K/BB ratio over 3 2/3 innings. He’ll try to work through his command issues at the Triple-A level.

Twins claimed RHP Zak Kent off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals.

They sent Pablo López (elbow) to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Kent has been DFA’d and claimed off waivers four times since the end of the 2025 season. He figures to be a back-end piece for the Twins if he makes the roster.

Cardinals designated RHP Zak Kent for assignment.

Kent has been removed from the club’s 40-man roster to make room for veteran infielder Ramón Urías just a few days after being claimed off waivers from the Rangers. The 27-year-old reliever made 12 appearances for the Guardians last season and should attract some interest as quality middle relief depth.
