Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Nationals in May of 2026.
Latches on with Nationals
The Nationals signed Kranick (elbow) to a one-year contract Friday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Kranick held a showcase for teams earlier this month and sat in the 94-to-95 mph range with his fastball, which is right around the 95.6 mph he averaged last year with the Mets. He's less than 10 months removed from flexor tendon surgery, so it's unclear when he might be ready to pitch at the big-league level. Kranick hasn't reached arbitration eligibility yet, so the Nationals will retain control of the righty for multiple seasons.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kranick made his big-league debut in 2021 and showed glimpses of promise, despite a few ugly outings inflating his surface stats. That put him in the conversation for a rotation spot entering 2022, but instead his season was derailed by forearm and elbow injuries. Positive things rarely follow that type of diagnosis, and Kranick underwent Tommy John surgery on June 4, 2022. That puts him in line to return sometime in the summer months of 2023 - likely late in the season - as a potential contributor out of the bullpen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for showcase Monday
Kranick, who's recovering from an elbow injury, will throw for the first time Monday, according to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic.
Analysis
Kranick underwent flexor tendon surgery in July and is aiming to be ready for the second half of the 2026 season. Any team that aims to sign him could offer him a two-year deal, as that would allow Kranick to fully recover in 2026 and pitch at full strength in 2027, provided there are no setbacks in his recovery. The Mets non-tendered Kranick in November, although he posted a 3.65 ERA across 37 innings during the 2025 regular season.
