It appears like the Washington Nationals are finally going to address the roster hole left by Nathaniel Lowe's DFA.

Washington has requested unconditional release waivers on first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, days after it designated him for assignment. “We have young players, and I think we want to see them play,” interim manager Miguel Cairo said earlier this week after the team DFA’d Lowe to make room for the return of Dylan Crews.

The Boston Red Sox signed first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to a one-year contract Monday, two days after he was released by the Washington Nationals. To make room on the roster, the Red Sox placed outfielder Rob Refsnyder on the 10-day injured list with a strained muscle on his left side.
