EDGE Analysis

Fox, 26, spent the 2023 season in the minors in the Nationals organization, posting a .619 OPS over 44 contests. The infielder is a former top prospect, but his production in the minors (career .668 OPS) has never matched the hype.

Fox was released by the Nationals on Tuesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

The Nationals reassigned Fox to minor-league camp Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox secured a spot on the Nationals' Opening Day roster last spring, but he'll open the 2023 campaign in the minors after failing to impress during his first taste of the big leagues a season ago. He mustered a .080/.115/.080 slash line in 25 plate appearances over 10 games with the Nationals before being moved off the 40-man roster during the offseason.

Fox cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Rochester, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox struggled in his first cup of coffee last season, hitting .080/.115/.080 across 10 games. His .228/.306/.340 line for Rochester wasn't good, either, so it's no surprise that he failed to generate any interest on waivers.

Triple-A Rochester placed Fox on its 7-day injured list Tuesday due to an unspecified issue, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fox hadn't appeared in a game for Rochester since June 18, so he's seemingly been nursing the injury for a few weeks.

The 25-year-old Fox is slashing .234/.314/.338 over 88 plate appearances for the Triple-A club this season.

Dee Strange-Gordon is on the paternity list, and Fox is up as a corresponding move. The speedy shortstop hit .289/.385/.467 with one home run and three steals in 45 at-bats at Triple-A, which is arguably the best offensive stretch of his career as a pro.
