Nationals designated INF/OF Emilio Bonifacio for assignment.
Bonifacio drew only three total at-bats during his nearly two week-stay on the Nationals' roster and went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk. The utilityman turned 35 years old in April.
Nationals purchased the contract of INF/OF Emilio Bonifacio.
Bonifacio looks poised to serve as a super-utilityman for the Nats to open the 2020 season after inking a minor league deal with the club in January. He hasn't appeared in a major league game since 2017.
Bonifacio signed with the Nationals as a non-roster invitee Tuesday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
Bonifacio will make $1 million if he makes the big-league roster. That doesn't appear to be particularly likely, as he'll turn 35 in April and hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2017. He spent last year with Triple-A Durham in the Rays' system, hitting .286/.353/.475 over 76 games.
Bonifacio was recently released by the Rays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Bonifacio declined to report to the Rays' minor-league camp after being reassigned March 22, prompting the organization to cut him loose. The 33-year-old is likely exploring his options elsewhere around baseball, but is apparently still open to a return to the Rays, presumably on another minor-league deal.
