The Washington Nationals have released right-handed pitcher Zak Kent, making him a free agent according to a team announcement. The 28-year-old was designated for assignment last week after Washington claimed right-hander Braxton Roxby off waivers from San Francisco. Kent subsequently passed through waivers before the club decided to part ways with him.
Kent joined the Nationals in early May following a turbulent stretch of waiver claims involving the Guardians, Cardinals, Rangers, and Twins. During three stints in the majors with Washington, Kent posted a 5.68 ERA over 12 2/3 innings, alongside a near 5.00 ERA across 32 Triple-A appearances.
