Washington Nationals: Tanner Roark the epitome of the rotation’s struggles

We’ve got more 2018 Report Cards for you this weekend. Tanner Roark is next in line as his struggles throughout the season summed up how the rotation’s struggles hindered the Washington Nationals in 2018.

He ended up leading the National League in losses, with a 9-15 record to go with a 4.34 ERA. For a time, his rotation spot looked at risk as the summer rolled along until he seemed to rediscover some form mid-season.

But after he slumped back to his early-season form, you could argue that with the team looking to upgrade its starters, he may have to move to the bullpen.
