## Resource

The Washington Nationals have signed right-hander Max Kranick to a one-year deal, with a club option for 2027. To make room on the roster, they designated Jackson Rutledge for assignment, who struggled with a high ERA last season. Kranick, who showed promise with the Mets, is expected to join the Nats bullpen in the second half of the season if he recovers from his elbow surgery.
