Gore exited Friday's game in the seventh inning due to left leg tightness, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gore stayed in the game after getting hit in the leg by a comebacker during the second inning, but it seemed to bother him a bit more by the seventh. The Nationals aren't too concerned about the left-hander's availability going forward, so it sounds like he should be in good shape to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled to come Thursday in Seattle.

Gore was removed from his start in the seventh inning Friday against the Giants with an apparent injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gore grimaced after throwing a pitch in the seventh inning of Friday's contest, causing him to leave the game early after throwing six innings of shutout ball. It's not immediately apparent what kind of injury the 26-year-old southpaw is dealing with, but the Nationals' training staff will take a closer look at him and report their findings in the near future.

Gore escaped with a no-decision in Friday's win over the Orioles, giving up two runs on 10 hits and two walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

It was a bizarrely historic performance for the southpaw, as per Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post, it was the first time in MLB history a pitcher threw fewer than four innings while recording at least 10 hits allowed and nine Ks. Gore's control has begun to regress, as he's issued nine walks in 15.1 innings over his last three starts, but that's come with 25 strikeouts and a palatable 4.11 ERA. He leads the majors with 84 Ks, 10 ahead of Zack Wheeler, and he'll look to tighten things up in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against Atlanta.

Gore (2-4) took the loss Sunday against St. Louis, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks over 6.2 innings with seven strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

The Washington southpaw showed no ill effects of the ankle injury he suffered during his last start May 4 in this 101-pitch performance. Gore generated 13 whiffs and was in line for a quality start before allowing two runs (one scoring on a single conceded by reliever Andrew Chafin) in the seventh as he tired. Through 52.2 innings, Gore has pitched to a 3.59 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 75:16 K:BB. He is currently slated to make his next start against the Orioles in Baltimore next weekend.

Gore (ankle) is listed as the Nationals' probable pitcher for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gore tweaked his ankle during his last start against the Reds, but he'll be ready to go Sunday on six days of rest. The left-hander has been stellar this season, collecting a 3.33 ERA and 68:13 K:BB over 46 innings covering eight starts.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said that Gore remains sore Monday after tweaking his ankle during Sunday's start in Cincinnati but is feeling a lot better, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gore slipped and fell on a wet mound during the fifth inning versus the Reds and hurt his ankle in the process. He finished that frame and likely would have been removed even if he was totally healthy, given that he needed 100 pitches to cover five frames. While Gore is a little banged up, it does not appear at this point he's in any danger of missing his next scheduled start Sunday against the Cardinals. It helps that he will have six days of rest between outings.

Gore allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out nine in five innings Sunday against the Reds. He did not factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Gore worked around a season-high four walks to hold the Reds to one run, which came on a second-inning solo home run by Tyler Stephenson. Sunday was just the second time this season he's failed to reach six innings, but he posted his third-best strikeout total of the year. His 68 strikeouts are 11 more than any other pitcher in the majors and he's up to 118 whiffs for the year. Gore will aim to pick up his first win in four starts when he faces the Cardinals at home over the weekend.

Gore did not factor into the decision during Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia. He allowed three runs on five hits over six innings while striking out six.

EDGE Analysis

Gore got off to a poor start Tuesday, serving up home runs to Kyle Schwarber and Johan Rojas in the first and fifth innings, respectively. Gore kept the Phillies quiet for the rest of his outing to produce his fifth quality start of the year and third straight. In two matchups against Philadelphia this season, he's given up three runs while registering a stellar 19:0 K:BB through 12 frames. Gore generated 21 whiffs Tuesday, including six each with his fastball and curveball. He owns a 3.51 ERA with a 59:9 K:BB across 41 innings this season. Gore is currently expected to face the Guardians at home next week.

Gore (2-3) came away with the loss against the Orioles on Thursday. He allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out eight across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gore faced the minimum number of batters in three of the first four innings. He gave up both of his runs in the fifth frame, and while he bounced back to retire the side in the sixth, Gore wasn't able to get enough run support from the Nationals' offense to avoid the loss. Gore generated 14 whiffs in 99 pitches (66 strikes), and his 53 strikeouts leads the majors. He'll look to get back in the win column next week on the road against the Phillies.

Gore (2-2) earned the win against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with 13 strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gore surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning but was otherwise dominant in the challenging environment of Coors Field. He racked up a whopping 28 swinging strikes on 104 pitches, including 14 on his curveball, and now has two 13-strikeout performances through five starts this season. He'll carry a 3.41 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 45:8 K:BB across 29 innings into a home matchup with the Orioles next week.
