Andrés Chaparro - Page 4 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Officially placed on IL The Nationals placed Chaparro (oblique) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, retroactive to March 24.

Impact Chaparro suffered a left oblique strain during batting practice in mid-March. He's eligible to return April 2, but he'll likely need to ramp up his activity during extended spring training or on a rehab stint in the minors before being ready for major-league action. He played 33 regular-season games for Washington in 2024, but it's unclear whether he would be immediately called up to the major-league roster once fully healthy.

Four hits, three RBI in twin bill Chaparro went a combined 4-for-9 with a home run and three RBI across both games of a doubleheader sweep versus the Pirates on Saturday.

Smacks three doubles in debut Chaparro went 3-for-4 with three doubles, one RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Orioles.

Impact According to Jessica Camarato of MLB.com, Chaparro became just the fourth player since 1901 to hit three doubles in his major-league debut.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Officially added to roster The Nationals selected Chaparro's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acquired from the Diamondbacks in the Dylan Floro trade, Chaparro is receiving his first major-league promotion after slashing .328/.405/.572 with 23 home runs over 105 games in 2024 at the Triple-A level. The 25-year-old can play both corner infield spots and could receive ample playing time at third base for the Nationals.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set to join major-league roster Chaparro is expected to be called up from Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Chaparro was dealt to the Nationals at the trade deadline in a deal that sent relief pitcher Dylan Floro to the Diamondbacks. Chaparro has yet to make his major-league debut and he's spent eight years in the minors. This season the 25-year-old has combined to hit .328 with 23 home runs, 85 RBI, 76 runs and three stolen bases over 105 games with Triple-A Reno and Triple-A Rochester. With Jose Tena (thumb) dealing with a fingernail issue, it's possible that Chaparro sees his first opportunity at third base with the big-league club.

AUGUST 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Traded to Nationals Chaparro was traded from the Diamondbacks to the Nationals on Tuesday in exchange for Dylan Floro, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Chaparro became a prospect of note with the Yankees from 2019 through 2022, but he had a down year in 2023 at Triple-A (90 wRC+, .247/.331/.444 slash line) and joined the Diamondbacks on a minor-league deal this past offseason. The 25-year-old corner infielder did much better in his second year at Triple-A, slashing .332/.403/.564 with 19 home runs and a 17.6 percent strikeout rate in 95 games in the Pacific Coast League. He could get an audition with the rebuilding Nationals down the stretch.
