Nationals DFA Jorge Lopez Amid Bullpen Shakeup

The Washington Nationals have designated pitcher Jorge Lopez for assignment, citing a focus on developing younger bullpen arms and unrelated to his recent performance, despite his challenging start to the 2025 season. Lopez, a veteran with a history of fluctuating success, was signed to a $3 million deal but has struggled with a 6.57 ERA this year. The move follows Lopez's past controversies and a decision to give opportunities to other relievers like Eduardo Salazar, as the Nationals explore options to trade or waive Lopez.

"Dodgers Make Surprising Roster Moves: Lamet DFA'd, Varland Recalled"

The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated right-hander Dinelson Lamet for assignment to make room for Gus Varland, who has been called up from Triple-A. Lamet's recent performance has been underwhelming, and the Dodgers are taking a risk by potentially losing him on DFA waivers in order to add Varland to the roster. Lamet has struggled with injuries and control issues over the past few years, and his time with the Dodgers has been one of his better stretches in recent times.

"Diamondbacks' Carson Kelly Designated for Assignment, Marking the End of the Paul Goldschmidt Trade Era"

The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated catcher Carson Kelly for assignment, nearly closing the chapter on the Paul Goldschmidt trade. Kelly, acquired in the 2018 trade, has had a mixed performance with the Diamondbacks, batting .230 with 44 home runs and 153 RBI. The trade has not worked out as desired for Arizona, with other players involved also leaving the organization. In addition to Kelly, outfield prospect Kristian Robinson was also designated for assignment. The Diamondbacks made several other transactions, including optioning pitcher Ryne Nelson and infielder Emmanuel Rivera to the minors, activating backstop Gabriel Moreno from the injured list, and purchasing the contracts of infielder Buddy Kennedy and right-hander Bryce Jarvis.
