Availability
The Nationals optioned INF Andrés Chaparro to Triple-A Rochester.
Fantasy Impact
Chaparro gets sent down to make room for the recently acquired Curtis Mead. He should get another opportunity in the majors later this season.
Chaparro is expected to serve as Washington's primary designated hitter to begin 2026, with Luis Garcia shifting to first base and Daylen Lile taking over in right field. He has slashed .203/.268/.358 with five home runs across 205 plate appearances for the Nationals over the past two seasons and is hitting .154 with two home runs and a 6:12 BB:K across 39 spring plate appearances.
Fantasy Impact
Dylan Crews and Robert Hassell are both opening the year at Triple-A Rochester, and either could factor into the DH picture once they're ready for another big-league look.
Andres Chaparro went 1-for-3 in the loss to the Yankees, with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
After today’s game, Chaparro's season stats stand at a .208 batting average with five hits, two doubles, and one home run across 10 games played. Fantasy managers can leave Chaparro on the waiver wire.
The Washington Nationals recalled Andres Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
With Nathaniel Lowe no longer with the Nationals, Chaparro should see some opportunities at first base and DH. In the minors this season, he's posted a .274/.382/.574 slash line with 15 home runs across 197 at-bats.
The Nationals optioned INF Andrés Chaparro to Triple-A Rochester.
Fantasy Impact
Chapparo was up for a few weeks and only appeared in four games. He'll continue to see more consistent playing time in Triple-A.
