"Cade Cavalli shines with 7 scoreless innings, but Nathaniel Lowe's release marks a significant shift for the Nationals as they move forward without him."
"Lowe struggled to fulfill expectations as a power hitter, hitting only 16 homers and posting a disappointing .216/.292/.373 slash line this season."
"Despite showing promise earlier, Lowe's defense has notably declined, diverging from his previous Gold Glove caliber performance at first base."
"Lowe, now a free agent, may draw interest from contending teams like the Boston Red Sox as they seek a player to enhance their lineup."
The Washington Nationals achieved a notable 2-0 victory against the Philadelphia Phillies, highlighted by Cade Cavalli's impressive performance over 7 scoreless innings. The team also made headlines by releasing Nathaniel Lowe, who had struggled significantly during the 2025 season, failing to meet expectations as a power hitter. Although Lowe's numbers included 16 homers and 68 RBIs, his .216/.292/.373 slash line and defensive decline raised concerns. With Lowe now a free agent, several contending teams, including the Boston Red Sox, may show interest in signing him without trading valuable assets.
