Nationals cut Joey Wiemer via unconditional release waivers
Washington has moved to release Wiemer, who starred in the season's opening week but was passed over for a call-up in favor of Andrew Pinckney.
The Washington Nationals have requested unconditional release waivers on outfielder Joey Wiemer, effectively ending his time with the organization. Wiemer drew attention as a surprise standout in the season's first week but had been stuck at Triple-A for months since. The decision became clearer when the Nationals called up Andrew Pinckney instead of Wiemer. The report comes from Washington Nationals beat reporter Mark Zuckerman.
