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.
