The Washington Nationals claimed 30-year-old utility player Mickey Gasper off waivers from the Twins, designating former top prospect Andry Lara for assignment to create space on the 40-man roster. Gasper, who has struggled in the MLB with a .133 average but excelled at the AAA level, offers positional versatility, playing multiple positions last season. Lara, once a highly regarded prospect, faced challenges in 2025 and showed poor performance in both the minors and MLB. If Lara goes unclaimed, he may return to the Nationals’ organization, while Gasper represents a potential bench asset for the team.
