The Nationals have designated first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for assignment, creating space on both their 26-man and 40-man rosters for Dylan Crews. This decision comes after a disappointing stint for Lowe, who was acquired over the winter from the Rangers with expectations of becoming a long-term player. Instead, he produced only a .216 batting average and the highest strikeout rate of his career. Despite hitting a grand slam recently, his performance hasn’t improved enough, leading to this roster move as Lowe’s salary and struggles hindered potential trades.
