The Washington Nationals claimed pitcher Chase Hampton off waivers from the New York Yankees on September 12, 2026. The move follows the Yankees' decision to designate Hampton for assignment earlier in the week to create a roster spot for the return of Aaron Judge from the injured list. Hampton, a 25-year-old right-handed pitcher, spent time in the Yankees' system after signing as a college free agent in 2022. He did not make a major league appearance for New York, recording a 4-10 record and a 4.89 ERA across 44 appearances in the minor leagues. This season, he pitched across three levels of the organization with an 8.18 ERA. The Nationals, currently in a rebuilding phase, added Hampton to their organization as the Yankees continue their series against the New York Mets.
