Nathaniel Lowe has been put on unconditional release waivers by the Nationals after being designated for assignment. He has a remaining salary of $2.33MM from a total of $10.3MM. If he goes unclaimed, the Nationals would cover most of his salary, allowing Lowe to sign elsewhere for a prorated league minimum. The Red Sox may show interest in signing him once he becomes a free agent. Since Triston Casas' injury, the Red Sox have relied on Gonzalez and Toro at first base, with Gonzalez performing well against lefties but struggling against righties.
Nathaniel Lowe has been placed on unconditional release waivers by the Nationals after being designated for assignment. His remaining salary is $2.33MM out of $10.3MM.
Should Lowe go unclaimed in waivers, the Nationals will retain most of his salary while he can sign with any team for the league minimum.
The Red Sox are expected to express interest in Lowe once he becomes a free agent. They currently rely on a split first base performance by Gonzalez and Toro.
Gonzalez has excelled against left-handed pitching with a .357 average and six homers, but struggles against right-handers with a .220 average.
