Zack Littell Designated for Assignment | MLB News

The Nationals cut ties with Zack Littell, designating him for assignment to make room for Brad Lord’s return. At 30, Littell logged over 112 innings this season with an ERA just under 5.00 — his strikeout rate has plummeted, though he’s improved since a rough April start. Despite earning bonus money for innings pitched, those incentives vanish once he clears waivers, leaving him eligible for only a prorated league minimum elsewhere. With experience as both starter and reliever, Littell remains a proven arm — likely to land a minor-league or major-league deal with another team soon.
