Will Harris Has Blood Clot In Right Arm

By Connor Byrne | March 19, 2021 at 3:28pm CDT

Nationals reliever Will Harris has a blood clot in his right arm, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. The 36-year-old will visit a specialist in St. Louis to determine the severity of the issue.

Harris hasn’t pitched since March 9, and it now appears unlikely he’ll be ready to take the mound when the Nationals’ season starts April 1. That would be a blow to Washington’s bullpen, which received 17 2/3 innings of 3.06 ERA pitching from Harris in 2020 – the first season of the three-year, $24MM contract he signed after an excellent run with the Astros from 2015-19.

A healthy Harris would have joined Tanner Rainey and closer Brad Hand as the Nationals’ primary late-game options at the beginning of the season. With Harris on the shelf, though, manager Dave Martinez said the Nats are considering righties Wander Suero and Kyle Finnegan to fill more significant roles. Both pitchers turned in quality results across a combined 48 1/3 innings a year ago.

    Wander Suero out of the bullpen?

    Nationals fans around the world do palm to forehead in unison.

    That’s as bad as sarcastically suggesting that the Nationals will depend on Wander Suero out of the bullpen. Who would believe someone was serious?
    –
    Love Rizzo, but put Wander Suero in the same category as Michael A. Taylor, Erick Fedde, Carter Kieboom, Austin Voth, and Andrew Stevenson. Your managers keep giving them playing time. They keep giving it back. They should be made to pay for tickets sitting so close to the field.

      what? Kieboom was a top prospect so they wolnt give up on him and many of those other guys have been productive.

      They really haven’t given Kieboom much playing time. 44 games and only 165 plate appearances through 2 seasons.

      This is gotta be one of the dumbest post on this site. You are face palming the last guy in the bullpen. A dude with a career 4.10 ERA and Ks almost 10 per 9. That isn’t bad.

      Also what category are you listing there? Other than Fedde and Kieboom, none of the other guys had much prospect hype. And Kieboom has a whopping 165 PA in the majors. Are you writing off a player with less than 1/3 of a season under their belt?

      The next time you want to comment, just don’t and save me and everyone else the word vomit.

    That solves that. Nationals are never comfortable heading into the season with a solid bullpen.
