The 29-year-old was DFA’d by the Nationals last week but went unclaimed, keeping him in the system—though his 2024 MLB stint was brief at two games. He logged a .674 OPS over 71 contests at Rochester last season. Fantasy managers can look past him for drafts; he’s organizational depth for now, not a lineup needle-mover.

Stone Garrett went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, and three RBI in the Nationals' 9-1 victory over the Phillies.

This performance marks a stellar start to Garrett's season, boasting a .750 batting average. His ability to drive in runs and score twice without striking out adds a promising layer to his fantasy value. Fantasy managers should keep a keen eye on him, as his power and ability to get on base could make him a valuable asset in all formats.

The Nationals have recalled Stone Garrett from Triple-A Rochester.

Garrett will join the team to provide depth after Andres Chaparro was placed on the paternity list. He will likely be optioned back to Triple-A once Chaparro returns.
