WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 05: Nathaniel Lowe #33 of the Washington Nationals warms up during the sixth inning against the Athletics at Nationals Park on August 5, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Overview

  • Nathaniel Lowe flew to Boston on Sunday and is scheduled for a physical Monday ahead of what could be an immediate activation for the upcoming Orioles series.
  • The waiver-claim deal leaves Boston responsible only for a prorated portion of the major league minimum while the Nationals cover roughly $8 million of Lowe’s $10.3 million salary.
  • A former Silver Slugger and Gold Glove winner, Lowe has slashed .216/.292/.373 with 16 home runs and 68 RBIs over 119 games this season with Washington.
  • First-base duties have been handled by an Abraham Toro–Romy Gonzalez platoon since Triston Casas’s season-ending knee injury in May, but struggles against right-handed pitching have persisted.
  • Lowe remains under arbitration control through 2026, giving the Red Sox an offseason decision on whether to tender him if his performance does not rebound at Fenway Park.
