2023 Fantasy Outlook
Say it with us: there is no such thing as a pitching prospect. For all the hype Gore has had in the minors, he has averaged 50 innings a season in the minors over five seasons of work at that level and his time in the majors this past season was also disrupted by an elbow issue. While he was able to avoid surgery, his fantasy outlook certainly changed when he was traded from the situation in San Diego to the mess in Washington for the forseeable future. Gore's fastball performed decently enough, but his breaking stuff was simply too hittable as both his curveball and slider had actual and expected batting averages .250 or higher. Remove the name from the situation, and you have a pitcher whose secondary stuff is still developing pitching for a team that is very likely to finish last in its division, maybe even by a healthy margin. Reset leagues should have little to no interest in this situation for 2022 while keeper and dynasty leagues can approach things differently if he is not already rostered in either situation.

Won't return in 2022
Gore (elbow) won't make a start for the Nationals prior to the end of the regular season, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Nationals hoped that Gore would be able to make his debut for the team prior to the end of the season, but he'll be held out due to uncertain weather. However, he feels healthy heading into the offseason and expects to be back to 100 percent in time for spring training in 2023.

Gore was the consensus top pitching prospect in baseball in 2019, but he struggled so much in 2021 that he spent time in the Arizona Complex League and didn't necessarily look like a future starter against rookie-level hitters. Through nine innings of big-league spring training, he has elevated his stock, striking out 11 while giving up just two runs and five baserunners. At the very least, he is back on the redraft radar and could push for starts early this season. Whether he can successfully turn a big-league lineup over twice remains to be seen, but at least for now, things are trending up.
