The Boston Red Sox are signing slugging first baseman Nathanial Lowe after he had been designated for assignment by the Nationals last week in favor of younger players, ESPN.com reported. Lowe, 30, will join one of the most potent offenses in baseball with Boston in the midst of a tight American League playoff race.

First baseman Nathaniel Lowe signed with the Boston Red Sox, the club announced Monday, after it finalized a deal for a prorated portion of the major league minimum, and the veteran appeared as a pinch hitter during a 6-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.

The Red Sox have signed first baseman Nathaniel Lowe for the remainder of the 2025 season. Lowe, 30, appeared in 119 games for the Washington Nationals this season, making 113 starts, but was released on Saturday after batting .216 with a .292 OBP and .373 slugging percentage.
