Hassell Outrighted to Triple-A After Clearing Waivers
The former top Soto-trade prospect clears waivers and heads to Rochester, marking a setback in his path to the majors.
The Nationals officially outrighted outfielder Robert Hassell III to Triple-A Rochester after he cleared waivers. Washington had designated him for assignment one week prior. With less than a year of MLB service time and no prior outright assignments, Hassell is required to accept the move. The 24-year-old was a key piece of the 2022 Juan Soto trade from San Diego but has struggled to establish himself at the big league level.
