The Nationals designated Baker for assignment Wednesday.
The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Sauryn Lao, who was claimed off waivers from the Mariners. Baker got a cup of coffee in the big leagues in 2024 but has spent all of 2025 at Triple-A Rochester, slashing .260/.348/.325 with one home run and 26 steals. The 26-year-old stands a good chance of clearing waivers and remaining in the Nationals organization.
