The Red Sox claimed Gasper off waivers from the Nationals on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gasper broke into the majors with the Red Sox in 2024 before spending the 2025 campaign with the Twins. He's slashed only .133/.250/.195 in 58 games between the two stops, but Gasper offers unique versatility with the ability to play catcher, first base, second base and left field. Gasper has minor-league options remaining, so he could begin the upcoming season at Triple-A Worcester.

The Nationals designated Gasper for assignment Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for Richard Lovelady, who was claimed off waivers. Gasper was also a waiver claim of the Nationals just last week and could be on the move to another organization. He's a career .133/.250/.195 hitter over 58 career games in the majors but will have appeal due to his ability to play catcher, first base, second base and left field.

The Nationals claimed Gasper off waivers from the Twins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gasper had been booted off the Twins' 40-man roster, and he's now joining a new organization. The 30-year-old sports a lowly .133/.250/.195 batting line over 58 career games in the majors, but he can play catcher, first base, second base and left field and also has minor-league options remaining.

The Twins designated Gasper for assignment Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Vidal Brujan, who was claimed off waivers. Gasper slashed only .158/.257/.232 over 45 contests with the Twins in 2025, but his ability to play catcher, first base, second base and left field could attract the interest of clubs via the waivers process.

Gasper went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Gasper was 2-for-3 with a run scored before belting a clutch, game-tying shot in the ninth inning. It was his first career home run and his first hit since July 26. He entered Tuesday's game in an 0-for-26 slump before the three-hit performance. Gasper owns a .491 OPS through 77 MLB plate appearances this season.

Gasper is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He started four straight games earlier this month, but Gasper has predictably found himself as the odd man out more often than not since Matt Wallner returned from the paternity list. Gasper will remain on the bench Sunday for the fifth time in seven contests.

Gasper will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Despite going 0-for-10 at the dish while starting each of the past three games at either first base or designated hitter, Gasper will stick in the lineup, this time filling in behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers serves as the DH. Gasper is likely to fade back into a reserve role once Matt Wallner returns from the paternity list in the next day or two.

The Twins recalled Gasper from Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Gasper will join the big-league roster to provide Minnesota with depth behind the plate while Ryan Jeffers is on paternity leave. The 29-year-old Gasper owns just a .488 OPS through 39 plate appearances in the majors this season, so Christian Vazquez will likely take over as the Twins' main backstop.

Gasper (foot) was reinstated from Triple-A St. Paul's 7-day injured list Tuesday and went 1-for-4 in his return to the lineup.
EDGE Analysis
Gasper served as St. Paul's designated hitter in his return to the lineup after he had missed about two and a half weeks while recovering from plantar fasciitis. The 29-year-old utility player owns a .316/.418/.600 slash line with 10 home runs and two steals in 41 games at the Triple-A level this season.

Triple-A St. Paul placed Gasper on its 7-day injured list Monday due to bilateral plantar fasciitis.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Gasper's injury isn't clear, but the fact that he's battling plantar fasciitis on both feet suggests he'll likely be sidelined for more than the minimum seven days. Gasper has put up a porous .488 OPS over 39 plate appearances with the Twins this season, but he's crushed Triple-A pitching, slashing .318/.418/.609 with 10 home runs in 40 games for St. Paul.
