Availability
Joey Wiemer has been claimed off waivers by the Washington Nationals. Wiemer was designated for assignment last month by the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Wiemer, a fourth-round draft pick by the Brewers in the 2020 MLB Draft, has slashed .205/.279/.359 over 499 plate appearances while playing for the Brewers, Reds, and Marlins. As a rookie in 2023, he batted just .203 with Milwaukee but did hit 13 home runs and swipe 11 bases. While his batting average has never been great, he does have a decent combination of speed and power as evidenced by his 63 home runs and 84 steals over five seasons in the minors. He also has a solid glove and can play all three outfield positions. Since Wiemer is out of options, he could find himself on the Nationals' opening day roster as a possible bench option.
