Nationals Outright Juan Yepez – MLB Trade Rumors

The Nationals announced that first baseman Juan Yepez has cleared outright waivers and been assigned to Triple-A Rochester. He was removed from the 40-man roster earlier this week when the Nats designated him for assignment.

Yepez has less than three years of major league service time and this is his first career outright. That means he does not have the right to elect free agency. He will therefore play for the Red Wings and look to earn his way back to the big leagues.

He has some decent big league work on his track record, including a stint with the Nats last year. He signed a minor league deal with Washington going into 2024 and got called up in July. He eventually hit .283/.335/.429 for a 113 wRC+ in 249 plate appearances. When combined with his previous work with the Cardinals, he has a .258/.307/.423 line and 103 wRC+ in 588 plate appearances.

But this year has been a challenge. The Nats acquired Nathaniel Lowe and signed Josh Bell in the offseason, pushing Yepez down to Triple-A, where has hit .199/.273/.301 for a wRC+ of 56. That performance got him bumped off the roster and through the waiver wire.

Both Bell and Lowe will be trade candidates in the coming weeks, with the Nats lined up as clear sellers. Bell is an impending free agent. Lowe can be retained for 2026 via arbitration but is trending towards a non-tender at this point. He’s already making $10.3MM and is having a subpar season at the plate. Perhaps those two will be moved and more playing time will be opened up at first base and as the designated hitter, though Yepez would have to perform better in order to take advantage of that.
