Washington Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker surrendered three hits across seven scoreless innings during Sunday's 6-0 win over the Houston Astros. Parker struck out eight batters without issuing a walk. Parker is the 21st-ranked prospect in the Nationals system and has looked great thus far in 2024. He now owns a 2-0 record to go along with a 1.50 ERA and 0.58 WHIP. Most impressively, the 24-year-old has not issued a walk in his two major-league starts. He may not continue this level of success, but he looks like he will stick in the Nationals rotation for the time being. Parker makes for an interesting streaming option in his next projected start against the Miami Marlins.
Washington Nationals starting pitcher prospect Mitchell Parker picked up the victory in his big-league debut versus the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday evening. Parker, 24, got the daunting task of facing one of the toughest lineups in the league, but held his own. Over five innings, Parker allowed four hits, two runs, zero walks and struck out four. Strikeouts have been a big part of his game throughout his minor league career and he could be an asset to managers if that translates to the big leagues. Moving forward, Parker is in line to face another tough offense in the Houston Astros this weekend. Parker should be avoided in that matchup, but as the case with many prospects, they are always worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.
Washington Nationals starting pitcher Mitchell Parker is expected to be recalled to make his MLB debut against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday. The 24-year-old is a former fifth-round pick of the Nats from the 2020 draft. The right-hander only made one start in Triple-A this season before receiving the call to the big leagues. It's not an easy task pitching against this tough Dodgers lineup. Fantasy managers looking for pitching help should probably look elsewhere on Monday.
