Nationals' Andrew Stevenson: Accepts minor-league assignment
Andrew Stevenson informed the Washington Nationals on Sunday that he intends to accept his outright assignment to Triple-A Rochester, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.Stevenson had the right to refuse the assignment and pursue his options in free agency after he cleared waivers earlier in the weekend, but he'll instead stick around with the only organization he's ever known. The 27-year-old outfielder has seen big-league action in each of the past five seasons, but his lack of a 40-man roster spot could hinder his chances of resurfacing with the Nationals at any point in 2022.

Nationals' Andrew Stevenson: Outrighted off roster
Andrew Stevenson cleared waivers and was outrighted to the minors Saturday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.Stevenson is out of options, so it had looked previously as though he had a good chance to win a bench spot. The Washington Nationals will instead go a different route, which can't be too surprising given Stevenson's career .248/.322/.365 slash line across parts of five seasons. He has the right to refuse an outright assignment, so he may wind up on the open market rather than with Triple-A Rochester.

Nationals' Andrew Stevenson: Likely to win roster spot
Andrew Stevenson is out of minor-league options, giving him an edge in the battle for a spot on the Washington Nationals' bench this spring, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.The 27-year-old saw the most action of his career last season but failed to seize the opportunity, managing only a .633 OPS in 213 plate appearances with a 28.6 percent strikeout rate against only a 6.1 percent walk rate. Assuming he's on the Opening Day roster, Stevenson has a path to significant playing time again in 2022 as the Nats' outfield isn't exactly set aside from Juan Soto, but his profile doesn't suggest he'd be a fantasy asset even in a starting role.
