Drives in two in return to majors Hassell went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Brewers.

Impact Making his return to the majors Friday, Hassell wasn't in the starting nine but made a quick impact after pinch hitting for Jacob Young in the eighth inning. With Daylen Lile staying productive in right field, Hassell may have to settle for a bench role during his latest stint with the Nats, especially once Dylan Crews (oblique) gets healthy.

Promoted Friday The Nationals recalled Hassell from Triple-A Rochester on Friday.

Impact The 23-year-old will join Washington for his second stint in the majors after Alex Call was traded to the Dodgers on Thursday. Hassell had a .497 OPS over 79 plate appearances during his first taste of the big leagues, but he now appears set to take over as the Nationals' starting right fielder, at least until Dylan Crews (oblique) returns from the IL.

Likely headed back to majors Hassell was scratched from the lineup with Triple-A Rochester on Thursday and figured to be promoted to the majors Friday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Impact The Nationals have a hole in the outfield with Alex Call having been shipped to the Dodgers at the trade deadline, and Hassell appears to be in line to fill it. The 23-year-old struggled in his first taste of the majors earlier this season, but since returning to Rochester in mid-June he's been on a tear, slashing .336/.435/.519 over 33 games with six homers, seven steals and a 23:23 BB:K. Hassell figures to handle starting duties in right field until Dylan Crews (oblique) returns from the IL.

Optioned to Triple-A Hassell was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Marlins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Hassell will return to Rochester after being called up May 21, batting .218 with one home run, eight RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base over 78 at-bats in 21 games with the big-league club. The Nationals are expected to recall Daylen Lile from Triple-A to replace Hassell as an outfield option ahead of the team's four-game series against the Rockies beginning Monday.

Returning to Triple-A The Nationals optioned Hassell to Triple-A Rochester after Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Marlins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

The Nationals are expected to recall Daylen Lile from Triple-A to replace Hassell on the active roster ahead of the team's four-game series against the Rockies that begins Monday.

Sitting versus southpaw Hassell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

Impact The Mets are sending lefty David Peterson to the hill, marking the second straight time the left-handed-hitting Hassell is absent from the lineup against a southpaw. This is after he started each of the first five times the Nationals faced a lefty since his promotion. Jacob Young is in center field and Alex Call is in right for Washington.

Sitting versus southpaw Hassell is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

Impact The Mets are sending lefty David Peterson to the hill, marking the second straight time the left-handed-hitting Hassell is absent from the lineup against a southpaw. Hassell had started against lefties each of the first five times the Nationals faced a lefty following his promotion from Triple-A Rochester on May 21, but Washington has less of a need for him to face same-handed pitching following the recent return of Jacob Young from the injured list.

JUNE 11, 2025 • Associated Press

On bench against lefty opener Hassell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Hassell will begin Sunday's contest on the bench while southpaw Jacob Latz opens the contest for the Rangers, but Hassell could be called upon to replace either Alex Call or Jacob Young in the outfield once Latz turns the game over to the Texas bullpen. The recent return of Young from the injured list may not necessarily cost Hassell a regular spot in the lineup right away, but Hassell will likely need to improve upon his .259/.259/.328 slash line through his first 58 plate appearances in the majors to ensure he sticks around in Washington for the long haul.

Drives in three in Arizona Hassell went 2-for-5 with three RBI in Friday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The rookie outfielder opened the scoring with a two-RBI single in the top of the first inning, kicking off a wild 9-7 victory. Hassell has begun to find his rhythm against big-league pitching, racking up six hits -- including his first career homer -- and five RBI in the last three games, but an 0:9 BB:K over his first 32 plate appearances with the Nats remains a red flag for his fantasy appeal.

Belts first big-league homer Hassell went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and an additional RBI in a 9-0 victory versus the Mariners on Wednesday.

Impact Hassell had been struggling coming into Wednesday, going 0-for-12 with four strikeouts over his previous four games. He broke out of that funk against Seattle, with his biggest highlight being a 416-foot solo homer in the eighth inning for his first MLB long ball. It was also Hassell's first extra-base hit of any sort, and he's gone 5-for-22 (.227 average) with no walks across his first six big-league contests.
