Nationals' Emilio Bonifacio: Dropped from 40-man roster
The Washington Nationals designated Emilio Bonifacio for assignment Thursday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.With Josh Harrison and Wilmer Difo having emerged as the Nationals' preferred utility men off the bench, Bonifacio was the odd man out as Washington reduced its active roster from 30 to 28 men. Since Bonifacio doesn't have minor-league options remaining, he'll now get exposed to waivers, though he'll stick in Washington's 60-man player pool if he ultimately goes unclaimed. He appeared in three of the big club's games, going hitless in three at-bats.

Nationals' Emilio Bonifacio: Wins roster spot
The Washington Nationals selected Emilio Bonifacio's contract Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.The 35-year-old Bonifacio has reached the majors for the first time since the 2017 season in what will be his second stint in Washington. As a speedy switch-hitter who can play multiple positions in the infield and outfield, Bonifacio should prove useful for the Nationals in a reserve role.

Nationals' Emilio Bonifacio: Named to 60-man pool
Emilio Bonifacio has been added to the Washington Nationals' 60-man player pool, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.The veteran utility player last played in the majors in 2017, but he apparently showed the Nats enough as an NRI this spring that they will keep him around for depth purposes. Bonifacio's best path to big-league action may come as a pinch runner -- a role the new extra-innings rules will make a little more prominent -- but even then, he'd have to compete with Andrew Stevenson for opportunities.

Nationals' Emilio Bonifacio: Invited to Nationals camp
Emilio Bonifacio signed with the Washington Nationals as a non-roster invitee Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.Bonifacio will make $1 million if he makes the big-league roster. That doesn't appear to be particularly likely, as he'll turn 35 in April and hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2017. He spent last year with Triple-A Durham in the Rays' system, hitting .286/.353/.475 over 76 games.

Rays' Emilio Bonifacio: Sent to minors
Emilio Bonifacio was reassigned to minor-league camp Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.Bonifacio hit well with a .333 average this spring, but his lack of extra-base hits and walks likely hurt him in battling for a roster spot. Regardless, the 33-year-old showcased himself fairly well and should provide solid outfield depth at Triple-A Durham for the Tampa Bay Rays.

Rays' Emilio Bonifacio: Torrid spring continues
Emilio Bonifacio is hitting .375 (9-for-24) this spring after going 3-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a 7-3 split-squad win over the Tigers on Friday.Bonifacio has been making waves as a non-roster invitee by displaying the same hot bat he wielded during his 2018 season in the independent Atlantic League. The veteran slashed an impressive .348/.385/.458 during his 70-game stint, and he's been similarly productive over a considerably smaller sample thus far during the exhibition slate. Bonifacio would likely still be hard-pressed to carve out an Opening Day roster spot in a crowded Tampa Bay Rays outfield, but he could certainly serve as quality organizational depth at Triple-A Durham.

Brewers' Emilio Bonifacio: Joins Brewers on minor-league deal
Emilio Bonifacio joined the Milwaukee Brewers on a minor-league deal Friday and will head to Triple-A Colorado Springs.The Brewers purchased Bonifacio's contract from the Long Island Ducks of the independent Atlantic League. The 33-year-old has appeared in 831 major-league games over his 11-year career, hitting an uninspiring .256/.313/.333. He's unlikely to be a significant fantasy asset down the stretch even if he were to get added to the 40-man roster.
