Stevenson, who was assigned to Double-A Harrisburg just before spring training was suspended, could be brought back up quickly if MLB rosters expand beyond 26 players, Byron Kerr of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nats are happy with the work Stevenson has put in to improve his swing and incorporate his lower half more, and the 25-year-old would give them another left-handed bat off the bench as a fifth outfielder. Stevenson had success in that role last season, albeit in a very small sample, slashing .367/.486/.467 over 37 plate appearances.

Stevenson was optioned to Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson performed well before spring training was put on hold, slashing .276/.400/.310 with a 5:6 BB:K across 35 plate appearances, though it wasn't enough for him to secure a bench spot with the big club. The outfielder appeared in 30 games with the Nationals in 2019, slashing .367/.486/.467 in 37 plate appearances.

Stevenson was still in the mix for a bench spot with the Nationals when MLB suspended the season.

EDGE Analysis

Whether the 25-year-old starts the season in the majors depends largely on whether Carter Kieboom wins the starting third base job -- if he isn't ready, the final spot on the bench would go to either Stevenson or Wilmer Difo. For his part, Stevenson was having a decent spring when the Grapefruit League schedule was put on pause, showing improved patience with a 5:6 BB:K through 35 plate appearances to bolster his .276/.400/.310 slash line.

Stevenson is not on the roster for the National League Division Series against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old will be unavailable for the NLDS after the Nationals opted to add two extra arms to their bullpen. Gerardo Parra and Michael Taylor will serve as outfield depth during the series.

Stevenson has made the Nationals' wild-card roster.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals will use a seven-man bench to provide extra flexibility in the late innings. Stevenson makes the cut as the team's sixth outfielder.

Stevenson was recalled from Double-A Harrisburg by the Nationals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson was optioned to the minors in mid-August but makes his return to the big leagues thanks to Sunday's roster expansion. The 25-year-old is 7-for-20 with three runs scored and a double this season, mostly working as a pinch hitter.

The Nationals optioned Stevenson to Triple-A Fresno on Monday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson will surrender his spot on the Washington bench to Howie Kendrick (hamstring), who was activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. The outfielder drew positive reviews for his work as a pinch hitter during his week-long stay in Washington and may not have to wait until rosters expand in September to receive his next callup.

Stevenson was recalled from Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson was sent to the minors July 26 but makes a quick return to the big leagues with Howie Kendrick (hamstring) moving to the injured list. The 25-year-old figures to serve as a reserve outfield option for the Nationals.

Stevenson was optioned to Triple-A Fresno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson joined the Nationals at the start of the week and made three appearances as a pinch hitter. The 25-year-old is unlikely to see any significant opportunities in the majors as long as Washington's outfield remains healthy.

Stevenson was recalled by the Nationals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson has received 167 big-league plate appearances over the last three years and has done very little with them, hitting .215/.293/.264 with one home run. He'll fill a fifth outfield role during his time with the team. Ryan Zimmerman (foot) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.
