Washington National rookie third baseman Jose Tena is batting fifth in Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Tena is hitting .293/.330/.380 with two homers, 10 RBI, and nine runs scored in 97 plate appearances since his Nationals debut on June 28. Although overshadowed by the likes of Dylan Crews and James Wood, Tena is one of the young bats the Nationals are counting on to help them return to playoff contention in 2025. Tena continues to fly under the radar in dynasty leagues, but if he is available, find the roster space to stash him away.
Washington Nationals infielder Jose Tena (thumb) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Tena suffered a right thumb injury while attempting to field a grounder in the third inning. The expectation is that Tena will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Ildemaro Vargas replaced him at third base and could see increased playing time if Tena is forced to miss time.
The Cleveland Guardians recalled infield prospect Jose Tena from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday and optioned right-hander Xzavion Curry to Columbus in a corresponding move. Tena, the club's No. 22 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will return to the big leagues after making his debut for the Guardians in 2023, when he went 7-for-31 (.226) with two doubles and three RBI in a cup of coffee for 18 games. The 23-year-old left-handed-hitting Dominican infielder was slashing .293/.341/.480 with an .821 OPS, 14 home runs, 56 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 73 games for Columbus to earn the call-up to give Cleveland more infield depth. As of now, it doesn't look like Tena will see consistent playing time with the first-place Guardians, so fantasy managers in shallow-mixed redraft leagues should probably pass.
