The Nationals optioned Chaparro to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro played sparingly during his three weeks with the big club, going 1-for-11 at the dish. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Paul DeJong's (orbital) return.

The Nationals recalled Chaparro from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro was sidelined for the first two months of the season with a strained oblique, but he's earned a promotion after batting .304 with five home runs in 15 games with Rochester. The 26-year-old could see regular playing time against left-handed pitching.

Chaparro is expected to be called up from Triple-A Rochester, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro is set to join the Nationals in New York ahead of their three-game series against the Mets beginning Tuesday. The 26-year-old missed the first two months of the year with an oblique strain, but he posted a .304 average with five home runs, 19 RBI and eight runs scored over 15 games with Rochester following his return to action May 28. Chaparro will now replace Nasim Nunez on the major-league roster after Nunez was sent down to Triple-A on Sunday.

The Nationals reinstated Chaparro (oblique) from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro has been on the shelf for the first two months of the season due to an oblique strain, and he won't immediately join the active MLB roster now that he's healthy. The 26-year-old went 5-for-17 with a double and two RBI in five games with Rochester during his rehab assignment, and he'll remain with the affiliate until the Nationals need some lineup help.

Chaparro's (oblique) rehab assignment has been transferred to Triple-A Rochester, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro played five rehab games with the rookie-level Florida Complex League Nationals -- going 4-for-15 with one home run -- and is now ready to test things out against stiffer competition. The infielder has been shelved since mid-March with a left oblique strain.

Chaparro (oblique) has been sent to the rookie-level Florida Complex League Nationals to begin a rehab assignment.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro is finally ready to play in games after going down with a left oblique strain in mid-March. The 26-year-old has a chance to work his way into regular playing time with the Nationals, perhaps in the designated hitter spot where Josh Bell has struggled.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Chaparro (oblique) is slated to begin the season on the injured list, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

An MRI last week on Chaparro's left oblique confirmed a strain, which will knock the infielder out of commission for a few weeks. Chaparro had been competing for the final spot on the Nationals' bench.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Chaparro has left oblique tightness and will undergo an MRI on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro felt his oblique tighten up while he was taking batting practice Friday. The 25-year-old is competing for the final spot on the Nationals' bench, but any sort of strain would knock him out for Opening Day.

Chaparro was scratched from Friday's lineup against Atlanta after injuring his left side during batting practice, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Chaparro has put up a 1.008 OPS this spring as he competes for the final spot on the Nationals' bench, but he could now be looking at an absence. The club should offer more details on Chaparro later Friday.
