Washington Nationals Spring Riser suffers delay, will open 2025 on the wounded list

Washington Nationals They did it through the relatively untouched spring training when it comes to injuries and protecting their players. However, one of their spring growth has suffered a delay and will probably be missing a decent period of time with recent injury.

Andrés Chaparro ended up with an oblique injury in the fighter practice on Friday and Mark Zuckerman from Masn Report that it will play the season on the wounded list.

The insider notes that the national manager, Dave Martinez, mentioned that it would probably be a 2-4 weeks for recovery.

“It’s a pulsating thing on my side. It is almost as if you felt a constant pain that continues to come and walk, just thrilling. I feel a little better than I did yesterday. I only work with the coaches and I see what the recovery looks like, “said Chaparro.

This is a difficult loss for Washington, as was the young Infielder/Lawyer designated Exceptionally doing well -to -spring workouts.

In 31 sticks, he had an Slash line .387/.424/.548, with five RBI, five running, a Homer and four hits at two walks. This was the best statistical production it had in the first portions of spring and, unfortunately, it will now be cut shortly before the opening day.

He made the debut in the Major League in 2024 and played in 33 games. It was concluded registering a line of .215/.280/.413 with 15 RBI, 12 running, four homemarks and 24 attacks at seven walks.

He had to increase his number in the spring of this year in order to give a chance for more playing time in 2025, and he showed this ability before lowering with this injury.

With Nathaniel Lowe being the first main baseman and Josh Bell taking the designated place of hit, it would have been difficult for Chaparro to make the start list this season. However, with Paul Dejong only at a one year transaction, maybe he had a chance at the third base later in the season, if things did not stop for the veteran.

Now, he will stay out for a little time, working on his recovery and making sure he is fully healthy before making a return.

The good he did in the spring of this year, finding his role will be crucial on his return.
