Nationals recall slugging infielder to help fill new vacancy at first base
"Chaparro should have a great opportunity to soak up a lot of the vacated playing time after Nathaniel Lowe was DFA'd last week."
"He has been thought of as the ultimate 4A player, demolishing AAA pitching, but has yet to establish himself at the big league level."
Andres Chaparro returns to the Washington Nationals, taking the place of infielder Jose Tena. Tena had limited playing time as a backup infielder. This roster change follows Chaparro's acquisition from the Arizona Diamondbacks and aims to enhance the team's performance, especially against left-handed pitchers. Chaparro, despite previous struggles at the major league level, is expected to receive more opportunities and likely form a platoon with Josh Bell. At just 26, Chaparro has potential for significant impact if given consistent playing time.
