The Nationals are reportedly drawing heavy interest in MacKenzie Gore.

Gore found himself in the middle of trade rumors at the deadline last year before Washington decided to keep him. He got off to a strong start to begin last season before struggling in the final few months. He's still young enough to likely bring back a heavy haul for the Nationals.

The Nationals placed MacKenzie Gore on the 15-day injured list.

The season is officially over for Gore, who is dealing with a right ankle impingement. He finishes the season with a 4.17 ERA and 185 strikeouts across 30 starts.

MacKenzie Gore allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in Thursday's loss to the Marlins.

After today’s performance, Gore now holds a 4.14 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with a 5-14 record across 28 starts this season. He started the year hot but has worn down as the season progressed. He's failed to pitch into the sixth inning in any of his last three starts, and he has only three quality starts in 11 tries since the beginning of July. The strikeouts are real, but he gives up hard contact. He gets the Braves next time out.
