The Washington Nationals optioned right-hander Zak Kent to Triple-A Rochester after a brief stint with the team.

Zak Kent Minnesota Twins

The right-hander made four appearances during his brief stay with the Nationals, posting a 6.35 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and a 5/0 K/BB ratio across 5 2/3 innings. He threw 42 pitches during Thursday afternoon's blowout loss to the Reds and wasn't going to be available for a few days, so they'll swap him out for a fresh arm. Expect that corresponding move to be announced on Friday.
