Nathaniel Lowe Expected to Sign with Red Sox After Nationals DFA

First baseman Nathaniel Lowe, 30, is reportedly set to sign with the Boston Red Sox for the remainder of the 2025 season. He was recently designated for assignment by the Washington Nationals on August 14th after struggling significantly this year, posting a .216 batting average with 16 home runs and 68 RBIs in 119 games. The Red Sox, seeking first base help due to Triston Casas' season-ending injury, hope Lowe can provide a boost, leveraging his prior success as a 2022 Silver Slugger and 2023 Gold Glove winner and World Series champion with the Texas Rangers. The Nationals will cover most of his remaining $10.3 million salary, with the Red Sox paying the prorated league minimum.
