The Nationals promoted RHP prospect Jarlin Susana to Triple-A Rochester.
Fantasy Impact
Susana has pitched just 17 2/3 innings this year after undergoing surgery last September. He will continue to work out of the bullpen in Triple-A.
Jarlin Susana began a rehab assignment on August 11.
Fantasy Impact
Susana is working his way back from right lat surgery.
The Nationals have reassigned Jarlin Susana to minor-league camp.
Fantasy Impact
Susana tossed three scoreless innings in three outings this spring. The 20-year-old will continue to develop in the minors.
Jarlin Susana touched 100 mph with his fastball in his first bullpen session of the spring and looked dominant during a live batting practice session Wednesday while mixing in his slider, per Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports. The 20-year-old right-hander remains on track to be developed as a starter in the minors.
Fantasy Impact
Susana’s electric stuff could allow him to make an impact in the majors sooner if the Nationals opt to fast-track him as a reliever, but for now, he’ll focus on improving his command and refining his changeup. He posted a 4.34 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a staggering 157:48 K:BB across 103.2 innings between Single-A and High-A last season. Dynasty managers should keep an eye on his progress, as his high-strikeout potential makes him an intriguing long-term asset.
