Nationals Designate Former Top Prospect Victor Robles for Assignment

Robles, once a key player in the Nationals' 2019 World Series team, struggled with injuries and inconsistent performance.

Victor Robles was removed from the Nationals' roster to make room for Lane Thomas, who returned from the injured list.
Robles, a former top prospect, never fulfilled his early promise, with a career batting average of .236.
Injuries and mental lapses plagued Robles' tenure, including a recent hamstring strain and a dropped flyball in Boston.
Despite showing potential in 2019, Robles' offensive production declined significantly in subsequent seasons.
The Nationals have a week to trade Robles or pass him through waivers; otherwise, he may be released.
