Overview

• The Nationals sent Lowe to DFA after he slashed .216/.292/.373 with a career-high 26.5% strikeout rate over 490 plate appearances this season.
• Despite belting a grand slam on August 13, Lowe recorded just three hits in the month of August, underscoring his ongoing slump.
• Washington acquired Lowe from the Texas Rangers in the offseason trade that sent Robert Garcia north, targeting middle-of-the-order power that never materialized.
• Lowe is earning $10.3 million in 2025 and is entering his final year of arbitration eligibility, factors that heightened his roster vulnerability.
• He will pass through the waiver process this week and could attract interest for a minor-league contract if unclaimed, with the Rangers among the potential suitors.
