It appears like the Washington Nationals are finally going to address the roster hole left by Nathaniel Lowe's DFA.

He’s Nathaniel Lowe, recently of the Washington Nationals and quite possibly the only American to go by Nathanial since approximately 1872. In fact, he actually went by Nate early in his career, changing it back to his birth name only after his mama yelled at him.

Boston’s new first baseman isn’t in Monday’s Red Sox lineup, which has a newly returned player in the leadoff spot.
