The Washington Nationals recalled infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester and placed infielder Paul DeJong on the 10-day Injured List with a fractured nose on Wednesday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.

Lipscomb, 24, joins the Nationals for the first time this season after he hit .295 (13-for-44) with a double, a home run, seven RBI, seven walks, two stolen bases and five runs scored in 13 games with Triple-A Rochester. Over his last 10 games, he went 10-for-33 (.303) with a double, a home run, five RBI, five walks, a stolen base and two runs scored. Lipscomb joins Washington on a hot streak, going 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI on Tuesday.

Lipscomb enjoyed five Major League stints last season, ultimately playing in 61 games for Washington at three different positions: third base (55 games), first base (5 games) and second base (2 games). Despite his limited action, he ended the season tied for 10th among National League rookies (14th in the NL overall) with 11 stolen bases, and became the fourth Nationals rookie to steal home and the second to record three stolen bases in a game on April 8 at San Francisco. In all, he hit .200 with three doubles, a home run, 10 RBI, 16 walks and 20 runs scored during his 2024 Major League campaign.

DeJong, 31, hit .204 with four doubles, two RBI, two stolen bases, two walks and three runs scored in 16 games this season.
