The Nationals announced that they released right-hander Adam Carr and designated right-hander Garrett Mock for assignment (Twitter link). In related moves, they reinstated Stephen Strasburg from the 60-day disabled list, selected the contracts of Brad Peacock and Steve Lombardozzi and transferred Cole Kimball to the 60-day disabled list. Washington's 40-man roster remains full.
Carr, 27, has yet to appear in the Major Leagues. He spent the 2011 season with Washington's top affiliate, posting a 6.63 ERA with 6.2 K/9 and 5.7 BB/9 in 19 innings. Mock, 28, last appeared in the Major Leagues in 2010. He spent this season with four of the Nationals' affiliates, posting a 6.39 ERA with 9.3 K/9 and 5.3 BB/9 in 49 1/3 total innings of work.
Finally!!!! Something is happening with Mock, he has just been sitting on the 40 man roster for no reason for what seems like forever!!
And cant wait to see what Peacock and Lombardozzi can do!!
I heard that Carr was re-signed. Any news on that? I think he could still be an asset. Last season was cut short due to shoulder surgery and if he comes back healthy, I’m sure he’ll be hungry.
