The Washington Nationals have designated right-hander Chase Hampton for assignment, creating space on their 40-man roster. Hampton, a former top-100 prospect, missed the entire 2025 season recovering from Tommy John surgery and did not appear for the Nationals after being claimed off waivers from the New York Yankees earlier this month. In his time with the Yankees, he posted an 8.18 ERA across 55 innings at various minor league levels. If he clears waivers, the Nationals may still retain his rights.
