The Nationals will select the contract of infielder from Triple-A prior to their next game on Tuesday in Baltimore, according to Andrew Golden of the Washington Post ( ). Multiple international websites, including from Chaparros native Venezuela were first with the news earlier today that Chaparro was set to be promoted for his MLB debut (hat tip to the ). The Nationals have space on their 40-man roster, so theyll just need to make a move on their 26-man roster to find room for Chaparro. the Diamondbacks for on trade deadline day, Chaparro started his pro career as an international signing for the Yankees in 2015. He spent his first six minor league seasons in New Yorks farm system before joining the DBacks last winter, and the deadline trade has now lined up the 25-year-old for his first taste of the big leagues. Like most prospects, 2020 was a lost year for Chaparro after the pandemic canceled the entirety Saben Lee Jersey of the minor league season. However, he returned to action in 2021 with a big step up in production, and he basically hasnt stopped hitting on his four-year rise from A-ball to the Show. Chaparro hit .247/.331/.444 with 25 homers over 601 plate appearances for the Yankees Triple-A squad in 2023, and he stepped up with a big .330/.406/.577 slash line and 23 long balls over 451 combined PA with the Diamondbacks and Nationals Triple-A affiliates this year. Since the large majority of his Triple-A work in 2024 came in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, it is fair to take Chaparros numbers with a grain of salt. That said, he has kept up the production since the trade to Triple-A Rochester, perhaps forcing the Nationals hand into giving him a look. Injuries on the active roster are likely also a factor, as (another deadline pickup in the ) left todays game with a thumb problem, and All-Star shortstop has mi sed the Nats last few games with back spasms. Chaparro is considered a subpar defender at third base, and he has spent his entire pro career at both corner infield positions and a designated hitter. Since he doesnt have much of a defensive profile, Chaparro will need to continue hitting if hes going to factor into any of Washingtons future plans, or get any significant MLB playing time over the rest of the season.
