It's September 13th. From the locker room to your ears, this is Washington Nationals News Today powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. The Washington Nationals are making some moves as the season winds down. They've added a new arm to the pitching staff, claiming right-handed pitcher Chase Hampton off waivers from the New York Yankees.
He's been sent down to AA Harrisburg to work things out. Hampton, who's 25, hasn't had the best year in the Yankee system, with a high earn run average and a lot of hits allowed. He's still looking for his big lead debut, hoping to turn things around in the new organization. On the flip side, pitcher Matt Waldron has been moved to the 60-day injured list, just a few days after initially being placed on the 15-day list. He hadn't given up any earned runs in his limited appearances this season. Meanwhile, reliever Richard Lovelady is back from his rehab assignment and has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
He's been out since late June with a tricep strain and his return fills the spot in the bullpen. The team also sent Eddy Yean back down to AAA Rochester. The Nationals are wrapping up a series against the Angels on Sunday before heading into their final stretch of games.
