The Yankees outrighted Downs to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Downs had been claimed off waivers earlier this offseason and is a career .182/.260/.273 hitter in 50 career plate appearances at the major-league level.

Downs was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Downs was claimed off waivers by the Yanks last month and will now go through the waiver process again after the club swapped him out in favor of Diego Castillo. The 25-year-old infielder has hit .182/.260/.273 in 50 career plate appearances at the major-league level.

The Yankees claimed Downs off waivers from the Nationals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Downs had been designated for assignment a week ago and now has landed in his third organization over the last year. The 25-year-old was considered a top-100 prospect when he was acquired by the Red Sox in the Mookie Betts trade, but Downs has slashed just .202/.306/.370 at the Triple-A level.

Downs was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Nats needed to clear out 40-man roster space in order to finalize their one-year agreements with both Nick Senzel and Dylan Floro. Downs ranked as a top-100 prospect a few years ago, but he's slashed just .182/.260/.273 in 50 career plate appearances at the major-league level and posted an underwhelming .236/.358/.379 batting line across 51 games last season with Triple-A Rochester.

The Nationals optioned Downs to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Downs was brought up from the minors Thursday to immediately fill Stone Garrett's (lower leg) roster spot, but he'll head back down in favor of Jacob Young, who was selected from Triple-A on Saturday. Downs hasn't performed well in the minors this season, and he figures to only return to Washington if the team needs an extra depth piece.

Downs was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Downs was just sent down Sunday but is back in the big leagues to take Stone Garrett's (fibula) spot on the roster. The 25-year-old infielder will bring some versatility off the bench.

Downs was optioned to Triple-A Rochester following Sunday's win over the Phillies, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Downs was called up by the Nationals in early August, but he played in just five games over the past few weeks and went 2-for-4 with four runs, two stolen bases and three walks. He should see more consistent playing time in the minors, and his demotion signals that Carter Kieboom should remain with the big-league club.

Downs went 1-for-1 with two walks, three runs and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Getting a rare start at shortstop and batting ninth, Downs was able to flip the lineup and come around to score every time he came to the plate. The 25-year-old has started only two games since getting promoted after the trade deadline, and while he isn't going to displace CJ Abrams at shortstop, Downs could begin to get more opportunities at second base or third base if he keeps producing when given the chance.

Downs is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Thursday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
This is just the second start of any kind for Downs since the Nationals called him up from Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 3. The 25-year-old had struggled in the minors prior to that promotion and will have to take advantage of these limited opportunities in order to carve out more of a regular role for the stretch run.

Washington recalled Downs from Triple-A Rochester on Thursday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Downs is expected to get regular playing time on the Nationals' infield following Wednesday's demotion of Luis Garcia, but the 25-year-old former top prospect doesn't offer much immediate fantasy appeal given how poorly he's performed this summer in the minors. In his 45 games (166 plate appearances) between the rookie-level Florida Complex League, High-A Wilmington and Triple-A Rochester this season, Downs was slashing just .165/.319/.308 with three home runs and eight stolen bases.
