"The Nationals announced Thursday that infielder Trey Lipscomb went unclaimed on waivers and has been assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester. Washington also reinstated catcher Drew Millas, lefty and righties Trevor Williams and Josiah Gray from the 60-day injured list. The Nats currently have five openings on their 40-man roster. Lipscomb, 25, was the team's third-round pick in 2022. He's seen limited MLB time in each of the past two seasons, struggling to a .206/.272/.237 batting line in 215 turns at the plate."
"The University of Tennessee product posted roughly average offensive numbers across multiple minor league levels in 2023, but he's been below-average in Triple-A in each of the past two seasons, logging a combined .261/.320/.392 batting line. The majority of Lipscomb's time on the field has been spent at third base, but he's seen some time at all three other infield spots and in left field. Scouting reports pegged him as a roughly average defender at the hot corner, and he's indeed posted decent grades there in limited big league work."
"Millas suffered a broken finger that required surgery late in the season. He should be healthy next spring. Herz and Gray both had UCL surgery in 2024 and figure to be ready next spring as well. Williams underwent an internal brace procedure on his own UCL back in July and will miss most, if not all of the upcoming 2026 season as a result."
Trey Lipscomb cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester. Washington reinstated Drew Millas, Trevor Williams and Josiah Gray from the 60-day injured list, creating five open spots on the 40-man roster. Lipscomb, a 2022 third-round pick, has limited Major League experience and has produced a .206/.272/.237 batting line in 215 MLB plate appearances. He showed roughly average offense across lower minor league levels in 2023 but has been below-average in Triple-A over the past two seasons (.261/.320/.392). He has primarily played third base with generally average defensive evaluations. Millas had finger surgery and should be healthy next spring; Herz and Gray had UCL surgery in 2024, and Williams underwent an internal brace procedure and is expected to miss most or all of 2026.
