Fourth straight start Tuesday Nunez will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's contest versus Atlanta.

Impact It's the fourth straight start for Nunez and the second straight day he's been in the leadoff spot. He enters play Tuesday having homered in back-to-back games and is 9-for-30 with four home runs and a stolen base in September. Nunez could continue to push Luis Garcia -- who is making his first-ever start at first base Tuesday -- for playing time at second base down the stretch.

Goes deep again Nunez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Monday's 11-5 loss against Atlanta.

Impact Nunez jumped on the first pitch of the game and sent it the other way for a leadoff homer to give Washington an early edge, though the lead didn't last long in an eventual loss. The infielder has now gone deep in consecutive games and is swinging it well, producing a .939 OPS with four homers and nine RBI over his past 15 contests.

Goes long against NYM Nunez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer during the Nationals' 3-2 win over the Mets on Sunday.

Impact Nunez capped off the Nationals' three-run second inning with a two-run shot off Sean Manaea. It was Nunez's third home run of the season, and since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Sept. 1 he has gone 6-for-26 (.231) with one steal and seven RBI.

Pops first two career homers Nunez went 3-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Marlins.

Impact Getting the start at shortstop and batting ninth in his first action with the Nationals since June 8, Nunez connected on his first two career homers in his 75th big-league game, launching a solo shot off Eury Perez in the second inning and a two-run blast against Luarbert Arias in the eighth. Nunez isn't known for his power -- he has only nine career homers in the minors -- but if he gets semi-regular playing time in September, he could make an impact on the basepaths. Between Triple-A and the majors this season, the 25-year-old infielder has gone 44-for-51 on stolen base attempts over 86 games.

Nationals recall 1B/DH Andrés Chaparro from minors after sending down infielder Nasim Nuñez

The Washington Nationals have recalled first baseman and designated hitter Andrés Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester

JUNE 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Sent to Triple-A Nunez was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Nunez went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in the contest before being replaced at the plate by Robert Hassell in the bottom of the eighth inning. Nunez will return to Rochester after being called up April 12, posting a disappointing .186 average with two doubles, five RBI, six runs scored and seven stolen bases over 43 at-bats in 23 games with the Nationals. It's unclear who will be replacing Nunez on the major-league roster, but Washington will have an extra day to think about it with an off day Monday before heading to New York to face the Mets for a three-game set beginning Tuesday.

Shines in rare start Nunez went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Orioles.

Impact Getting the start at second base and batting ninth, Nunez made a diving catch on a Gunnar Henderson line drive for the first out in the bottom of the first inning, and he continued to make an impact the rest of the night, both on offense and on defense. The switch hitting utility player had just one plate appearance in May coming into Friday, but with Amed Rosario (leg) banged up and Paul DeJong (face) still more than a month away from his expected return, Nunez's speed and energy could find their way onto the Nationals' lineup card more often in the short term.

Shifts back to reserve role Nunez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

Impact Nunez made nine straight starts from April 14 through this past Wednesday, but he's since shifted to the bench following top shortstop CJ Abrams' return from the injured list Thursday. So long as Abrams remains healthy, Nunez is expected to see infrequent opportunities as a utility infielder.

Getting third straight start Nunez will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact With Paul DeJong (nose) joining CJ Abrams (hip) on the injured list Tuesday, Nunez looks as though he could have a clear path to regular playing time in the short term. He had already started at shortstop in the Nationals' last two games, going 4-for-7 with a double, a stolen base, two runs and two RBI.
