The Nationals have claimed outfielder Joey Wiemer off waivers from the Giants, who designated him for assignment to make room for reliever Jason Foley. Wiemer, a former fourth-round pick by the Brewers, has struggled in the majors with a .205 batting average but showed promise with 13 homers and solid outfield defense in 2023. He is out of minor league options and must remain on Washington’s 40-man roster, potentially serving as a bench option alongside outfielders like James Wood and Robert Hassell III.
