Career in the minors (since 2017): 20.8% K, 8.6% BB, 3.85 ERA, 4.14 FIP

" [Tetrault's] most recent start in Triple-A: 3.2 IP, 7 H, 2 HR...8 ER" - Austin Reach
Tetreault will be making his MLB debut today in place of Stephen Strasburg, who once again finds himself on the IL. Tetreault was a seventh-round pick back in 2017. He's had a good enough showing in Triple-A Rochester this year that the Nationals feel he's ready for The Show. It's unfortunate for him that he's matching up against a dominate Atlanta team.
Fried will be making his 13th start of the season in search of his seventh win. Fried has allowed just two runs in his past three starts. When Fried has command of his pitches, he's absolutely untouchable.
