The Washington Nationals acquired infielder Andrės Chaparro from the Arizona Diamondbacks in exchange for right-handed pitcher Dylan Floro on Tuesday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.

Chaparro, 25, is hitting .332 with 26 doubles, one triple, 19 home runs, 75 RBI, 41 walks, three stolen bases and 69 runs scored in 95 games for Triple-A Reno. He leads Arizona’s system in average, on-base percentage (.403) and hits (122) and ranks in runs scored (2^nd), slugging percentage (3^rd, .564), OPS (3^rd, .967), doubles (3^rd), extra-base hits (3^rd, 46) RBI (3^rd) and home runs (T4^th).

Chaparro joined the Diamondbacks system after spending his first six professional seasons (2017-23) in the New York Yankees system. He is a career .265/.351/.466 hitter with 115 doubles, six triples, 96 home runs, 358 RBI and 249 walks in 567 career Minor League games.

A native of El Viga, Venezuela, Chaparro was signed by the New York Yankees as a non-drafted free agent on July 2, 2015.

Floro, 33, went 3-3 with a 2.06 ERA in 51 games out of Washington’s bullpen in 2024.
