Andrés Chaparro, who the Arizona Diamondbacks traded to the Washington Nationals at the deadline, is slated to make his MLB debut against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
Washington acquired Chaparro from the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 30, when they shipped out veteran relief pitcher Dylan Floro just ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline. While Chaparro has plenty of experience at first, he is primarily a third baseman and is expected to take over some of the work in the hot corner while José Tena works through a fingernail injury.
The Nationals are calling up infielder Andrés Chaparro, per multiple sources. Spent 8 yrs. in the minors and now has a chance to make his MLB debut. It remains to be seen who will lose their roster spot to the 25-year-old Venezuelan slugger, who does not rank among the Nationals' top 30 prospects.
