He pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six. Despite not factoring into the decision, Rutledge's performance was a positive indicator for fantasy managers looking for potential in starting pitching. His season stats, including a 4.76 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, suggest room for improvement, but his high strikeout rate (11.1 K/9) and decent FIP (4.14) hint at underlying skills that could lead to better results. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his progress, as his ability to miss bats could make him a valuable asset if he gains more control and efficiency in future outings.

Jackson Rutledge is expected to start for the Nationals Friday, per manager Davey Martinez.
