• Nationals' Brady House: Reassigned to minors camp

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  The Nationals reassigned House to minor-league camp Wednesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports. House didn't get a ton of looks this spring but fared well when he played, going 7-for-21 with a 4:4 K:BB. The 21-year-old is highly thought of as a prospect but still needs seasoning in the minors after slashing just .241/.297/.402 with a 26.4 percent strikeout rate between Double-A Harrisburg and Rochester in 2024.

• Nationals' Brady House: Nets spring invite

  01/23/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Nationals have extended House an invitation to big-league camp during spring training, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports. House's 2024 season qualified as a disappointment, as he slashed just .241/.297/.402 with 19 home runs and a 26.4 percent strikeout rate between Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester. He was young for each level, though, particularly at Triple-A, given that he won't turn 22 until June. The Nationals don't have much blocking House at third base, so he could debut sooner rather than later if he can make some strides in 2025. Jarlin Susana is another one of the Nationals' top prospects to earn an invitation to big-league camp.

• Nationals' Brady House: Could make debut in second half

  07/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  House could take over as the Nationals' starting third baseman before the end of the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports. Washington is currently deploying Trey Lipscomb at the hot corner, but the 24-year-old has just a .565 OPS through his first 159 big-league plate appearances and is likely a utility player in the long run. House is viewed as the organization's third baseman of the future, and a promotion to Triple-A Rochester in early July puts him one step away from the majors. He's gone 4-for-12 with two doubles to begin his Triple-A tenure, and if he holds his own in the International League, a promotion to the Nats' big-league roster some time in the second half seems very plausible. Even in the best-case scenario, House's call-up probably wouldn't occur until late August in order to keep his rookie status intact for 2025.

• Nationals' Brady House: Gets bump to Triple-A

  07/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Nationals promoted House from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Rochester on Sunday. House will get his first taste of the Triple-A level and should take over as Rochester's everyday third baseman after the Nationals called up Trey Lipscomb on Saturday to replace Nick Senzel -- who was designated for assignment -- as their primary option at the hot corner. Though the 21-year-old may not get a call to the majors before the season ends, House is likely viewed as the organization's long-term answer at third base over Lipscomb, who lacks the ideal power-hitting profile for the position. House, meanwhile, hit a modest .234 over his 306 plate appearances with Harrisburg, but he showcased plenty of pop (13 home runs, .189 ISO) while striking out at a manageable 24.5 percent clip.

• Nationals' Brady House: Promoted to Double-A

  07/18/2023 • By RotoWire

  House was promoted to Double-A Harrisburg on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports. House dropped off a lot of top-100 prospect lists following a somewhat underwhelming showing in Low-A ball last year, but he broke through to High-A Wilmington last month and is now making a swift leap to the Nationals' Double-A affiliate. The 20-year-old third baseman carries a shiny .304/.369/.512 overall minor-league batting line through 226 plate appearances this season.
