Latest Fantasy Rumors
May get stretched out to start
Espino is in consideration to get a start next week, reports Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com.
ANALYSIS
Espino and Evan Lee are being discussed as possible rotation options for next week. The Nationals are in a stretch of 14 games in 13 days, including a doubleheader next Friday against the Phillies, and will need an additional starter at some point. Espino has tossed 25.2 innings over 19 appearances - all in relief - this season. Last season, he made 19 starts and compiled a 4.50 ERA in 86 innings in that role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Espino was putting together what looked like a career year in relief, posting a 2.03 ERA and 1.01 WHIP in his first 20 appearances of 2022. The Nationals, mostly out of necessity, put Espino back in the rotation. Things fell apart for the right-hander as he finished with a 5.81 ERA while serving up a whopping 22 long balls in his 83.2 innings as a starter. His future as a major-league starting pitcher is looking bleak. Espino is capable of eating innings but the Nationals should probably shorten him up and hope for better results in shorter spurts in 2023.
