Belisle pitched two scoreless innings in relief of a shaky Max Scherzer on Thursday, allowing no hits and walking one without a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

He's had a solid start to the season, posting a 1.80 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through his first five innings, but Belisle is buried in middle relief for the Nationals and his 2:1 K:BB doesn't suggest he'll be able to maintain those strong ratios. Barring injuries that push him into higher-leverage situations, Belisle is probably best left on the waiver wire.
