Kitchen will lose his spot on the roster after struggling in Friday's game with the Phillies. He will hit the waiver wire.

Fantasy Impact

This outing only inflates his already bloated ERA to 14.14 and WHIP to 2.71 for the season, signaling ongoing struggles in his pitching mechanics and command. With a K/9 of just 5.1 and a high BABIP of .455, Kitchen's ability to effectively manage contact and miss bats is severely lacking. Fantasy managers should view him as a liability in all formats, and his role in high-leverage situations will likely remain limited unless significant improvements are seen.
