2025 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez made the Nationals' roster as a Rule 5 pick but played sparingly because he was both terribly inexperienced and could only play the positions manned by the two best players (Abrams and Garcia Jr.) on the team last season. The Nationals wanted to hold on to Nunez after watching him steal 122 bases in the Marlins system over the previous two seasons and can now send Nunez to Triple-A in 2025 to continue his development with regular playing time. Nunez, despite his inexperience at the upper levels, had an impressive 15.4 percent walk rate in his 78 plate appearances, continuing a skill he showcased throughout his time in the Florida system. It will be interesting to see how well Nunez does in Triple-A this season when he resumes his on-base skills and showcases his speed with regular playing time, because he can absolutely fly. Perhaps a move to center field might be in the future, as neither Abrams nor Garcia Jr. appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. Read Past Outlooks

Fourth straight start Tuesday
SSWashington Nationals
September 23, 2025
Nunez will start at second base and bat leadoff in Tuesday's contest versus Atlanta.
Analysis
It's the fourth straight start for Nunez and the second straight day he's been in the leadoff spot. He enters play Tuesday having homered in back-to-back games and is 9-for-30 with four home runs and a stolen base in September. Nunez could continue to push Luis Garcia -- who is making his first-ever start at first base Tuesday -- for playing time at second base down the stretch.
