Mon Aug 25 | 07:29 | Jarlin Susana Dominant Again on Sunday |
Philadelphia Phillies right-handed pitching prospect Jarlin Susana posted another dominant outing on Sunday, facing Double-A Erie. In this start, Susana tossed five innings of one-run ball with two hits and three walks. He struck out 10 hitters. This was his second straight contest, racking up double-digit punchouts. In his previous start, Susana struck out 13 hitters across five innings of one-run ball. Through 45 2/3 innings at Double-A Reading this season, Susana has posted a solid 3.5 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and a 76:29 K:BB. The 21-year-old right-hander is currently considered the No. 48-ranked prospect in the sport and the No.2-ranked prospect in the Philadelphia system. If he continues this impressive run, he could earn a taste of Triple-A later this season. |

Wed Aug 20 | 00:37 | Jarlin Susana Punches Out 13 |
Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out 13 on Tuesday against Double-A Erie. The big right-hander mowed hitters down all night, racking up 20 swings and misses. Susana has been cruising in four starts during August, holding a 1.45 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, and a 34:6 K:BB ratio in 18.2 innings. The walk rate is still high for the season, but he consistently touches 100 MPH and has a future 80-grade slider that carves up hitters. He's spent time on the injured list this season, but looks to be rounding into form over the last month. He'll look to finish out strong and make a push to be considered for a role in the Nationals' pitching staff in 2026. |

Thu Aug 7 | 14:25 | Jarlin Susana Activated from Double-A Injured List |
WashingtonNationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana (elbow) has been activated from Double-A Harrisburg's 7-day injured list. The Nats' second-ranked prospect (MLB No. 48) was placed on the IL back in May with a UCL sprain, but has completed a three-game rehabassignment at High-A. The 21-year-old posted a 4.15 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and a 14.8 percent K-BB% in six startsfor the Senators before going down with the injury, but looked very sharp in his rehab, recording a 3.00 ERA (0.55 FIP), 0.89 WHIP, and an elite 38.9 percent K-BB%. The 6-foot-6 hurler struck out 157 battersin 103 2/2 innings pitched in 2024, but struggles with control, owning a 12.2 percent walk rate in his minor-league career. The righty should debut in the majors next year, but if the walks don't come down, he could find himself in the bullpen. |

Sun Jul 20 | 13:11 | Jarlin Susana Set to Begin Rehab Assignment at High-A |
Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment on Sunday with the team's High-A affiliate, the Wilmington Blue Rocks. The Nats' second-ranked prospect has been on the shelf for 2 1/2 months with a UCL sprain that ultimately did not require surgery. The 21-year-old right-hander logged a 4.15 ERA and an ugly 1.69 WHIP through his first six starts this season, due in part to some control issues that crept back in, walking batters at a 14.8 percent rate before the injury. The 6-foot-6 hurler rode his fastball that can hit triple digits to a 31.1 percent strikeout rate, and if he can regain control of the zone, then he could be an impactful pitcher for fantasy. The Dominican is a pitcher for dynasty managers to watch to see how he finishes out the year, as he could be in the majors as soon as 2026. |

Mon May 12 | 14:47 | Jarlin Susana Placed On Minor League Injured List With UCL Sprain |
Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana (elbow) has been placed on the seven-day minor-league injured list with a Grade 1 UCL sprain. The team believes he's avoided a major injury that would require Tommy John surgery, but he'll be shut down from throwing and be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Nats' second-ranked prospect has a 4.15 ERA for Double-A Harrisburg, but a 16.4 percent walk rate takes some of the shine off of the righty's 31.1 percent strikeout rate, leading to an ugly 1.69 WHIP. Still, if the 6-foot-6 hurler can rein in some of the walks, he possesses a triple-digit fastball and a devastating slider that makes him an intriguing future fantasy asset. Assuming he won't require surgery, the 21-year-old is expected to make his big-league debut in 2026. Dynasty managers will want to keep an eye on him as he could be an impactful starter, but if the command isn't improved, he could be converted to a closer. |

Mon Apr 7 | 12:55 | Jarlin Susana Tallies Seven Punchouts In Double-A Debut |
Washington Nationals pitching prospect Jarlin Susana tallied seven punchouts in his Double-A debut on Sunday afternoon. He logged four innings of one-run ball. He allowed just three hits and two walks. After spending the 2024 campaign split between Low-A and High-A, Susana looked strong in his first taste of the upper levels. Last summer, the right-hander held a 4.47 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP across 56 1/3 innings at Low-A. He struck out 81 batters. Then, with High-A Wilmington, Susana posted a similar 4.18 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP through 47 innings of work. However, he continued to flash elite strikeout upside as he tallied 74 over this stretch. On MLB.com, the 21-year-old is considered the No. 3 prospect in Washington and the No. 78 in the sport. Given his elite strikeout potential, he remains a pitcher to keep a close eye on. |
