Red Sox Sign 1B Nathaniel Lowe, Who Was Cut by Nationals Last Week

Nathaniel Lowe joins the Red Sox to strengthen first base after Triston Casas' injury; Lowe hit 16 home runs this season despite a down year with the Nationals.

  • According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Red Sox are finalizing a deal to sign Nathaniel Lowe and could debut him Monday night against the Orioles.
  • Amid a vacancy at first base, the Red Sox have searched for help since Triston Casas’s injury in May, with Abraham Toro struggling, prompting exploration of external options.
  • From his time with the Texas Rangers, Lowe earned a Silver Slugger in 2022 by hitting.302 with 27 home runs and 76 RBIs, and won a Gold Glove in 2023.
  • Contractually, the Washington Nationals will cover most of Lowe’s $10.3M salary, leaving Boston with a prorated league-minimum obligation, making this a virtually no-risk signing.
  • Amid a tight wild-card race, sources say the Boston Red Sox aim to bolster first-base performance against right-handed pitching with Lowe, sharing the AL wild-card lead with the Mariners and five games behind the Blue Jays.
