The Nationals have opted to decline Austin Kearns' $10MM option for 2010, according to the
The club will instead pay the outfielder a $1MM buyout. Kearns is good defensively, but leaves a bit to be desired with his bat, as he only hit .195 in 2009.
Kearns, who is recovering from surgery on his right thumb, appears to be a ways off from rejoining the team. He won't have any fantasy value upon his return and won't do much to improve the floundering Nationals.
Austin Kearns had successful surgery on his injured right thumb on Friday, according to
Kearns is expected to fully recover from the injury, and be activated at the end of his scheduled 15-days on the disabled list.
According to
Kearns, in the midst of his worst season ever, will travel to Baltimore to see a thumb specialist. He has had multiple issues with the thumb since 2001. Prospect Jorge Padilla will be called up to take his spot on the roster.
Austin Kearns is out for Washington today with a right thumb contusion, according to the
We pray that this news does not have any effect on your fantasy roster, as Kearns has been awful this year, batting under .200 with just three home runs in 173 at-bats.
