  • Nationals' Jose Tena: Competing for bench role

    Rotowire

    Tena is competing with Trey Lipscomb for an infield utility job and has a .156/.206/.219 slash line through 11 Grapefruit League games.

    The pair appeared poised to battle for the starting job at third base to begin camp, but the Nationals then signed Paul DeJong in mid-February. Tena had a .652 in 44 games between the Guardians and Nationals last season, and he's struggled to get on track during spring action.

  • Nationals' Jose Tena: Competing for third base job

    Rotowire

    Tena will battle with Trey Lipscomb in spring training for the Nationals' starting job at third base, Bobby Blanco of MASN Sports reports.

    Tena showed some upside at the plate after being acquired from the Guardians in the Lane Thomas trade last year, slashing .274/.305/.363 over 41 games for the Nats with three homers and six steals in seven attempts. The 23-year-old mostly played shortstop in the minors however, and defensively he has a lot of work to do at the hot corner, committing nine errors on only 87 chances. Lipscomb has the stronger glove, but he stumbled to a .500 OPS in 61 big-league games in 2024. If Tena shows enough improvement in the field during camp, he'll be the favorite to get the nod at third base in the Opening Day lineup. Prospect Brady House could also get a look this spring, but he likely needs more development time at Triple-A before he'll be ready to take over the job.

  • Nationals' Jose Tena: Swipes bag, tallies RBI in loss

    Rotowire

    Tena went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Cubs.

    Tena drove home James Wood with a two-out single in the top of the third before going on to steal his sixth base of the campaign. The shortstop would then add a leadoff single in the sixth to give him his sixth multi-hit performance this month. Tena has hit safely in 11 of his last 14 games, batting .309 (17-for-55) over that stretch with one homer, five RBI, five runs and five stolen bases.

  • Nationals' Jose Tena: Fills stat sheet in win

    Tena tallied a homer and a steal in the same contest for the first time in his career. He has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games with five multi-hit efforts, four extra-base hits and six runs scored. In 113 plate appearances with the Nationals, the 23-year-old is hitting .318 with three home runs, 13 RBI, 13 runs scored and five stolen bases.
