Colin Poche News: Elects free agency

Poche elected to become a free agent Sunday.

Poche cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Nationals on Thursday, and he chose to exercise his right to become a free agent instead of reporting to Triple-A Rochester. The lefty produced a disappointing 11.42 ERA and 2.54 WHIP with 10 strikeouts over 8.2 innings in 13 appearances with the Nationals.
