Edwin Arroyo - Getting look at third base Arroyo has started to get some reps at third base at Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox19.com reports.

Impact Arroyo has always been known as a good fielding prospect, with his primary position still being second base. But the bat has been slow to come around, especially in terms of his power after a shoulder injury wiped out his 2024 campaign. So far at Triple-A he's enjoyed his best year at the plate, hitting .342/.408/.590 with eight homers in 189 plate appearances. Arroyo turns 23 in August, so it's not too late for him to make a major league impact someday.

Alex Young - Signs with Nats Young (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Wednesday.

Impact Young spent the 2025 campaign in the Reds organization but didn't appear in a game after suffering a season-ending elbow injury during spring training. It's unknown where he currently sits in his recovery, but the Nationals will have him begin his ramp-up process in the Florida Complex League. Once the 32-year-old is built up, he will likely report to Triple-A Rochester and could eventually claim a spot in Washington's bullpen if he pitches well in the minors.
