Nationals Claim Joey Wiemer Off Waivers From Giants
The Washington Nationals claimed outfielder Joey Wiemer off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on Monday, according to Andrew Golden of The Washington Post. The former top-100 prospect has played in 180 major-league games since debuting in 2023 with the Milwaukee Brewers, and he's slashed .205/.279/.359 with 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 57 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases in three seasons. Last year, Wiemer played in 27 games at the MLB level with the Miami Marlins and went 13-for-55 (.236) with three homers, 12 RBI, and seven runs scored in 61 plate appearances. The 26-year-old right-handed hitter was traded to the Giants in November and will now head to the National League East to compete for a roster spot in spring training with the Nats. The fact that he's out of minor-league options should help his case for making the Opening Day roster, but likely in a reserve role.
