Joey Meneses Signs Minor-League Deal With A's

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses signed a minor-league deal with the Athletics on Saturday, sources told Francys Romero. Meneses did not surface in the big leagues during the 2025 season, instead spending all of his time at Triple-A Syracuse in the New York Mets' organization, where he slashed .264/.321/.444 with 11 home runs, 55 RBI, and 37 runs scored in 421 plate appearances. The 33-year-old Mexican debuted in the majors in 2022 with the Washington Nationals and hit a combined .274/.322/.408 with a .731 OPS, 29 home runs, 165 RBI, and 123 runs scored in 286 games over three seasons in D.C. The 33-year-old will be fighting for an Opening Day roster spot with the A's at spring training in 2026, but if he makes the squad, he'll merely be a right-handed-hitting option off the bench. Meneses hit 13 homers and drove in 89 in a career-high 154 games for the Nats in 2023.

Joey Meneses Hitting Well In Mexican Winter League

New York Mets first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses is doing his best Pete Alonso impression down in the Mexican Pacific Winter League, now with 10 home runs and 52 RBI in 50 games played (187 at-bats), along with 12 doubles and a strong .316 batting average. Not that the competition is the same as playing against major leaguers, but with Alonso still not signed, it should give the Mets a little peace of mind that they have a capable veteran waiting in the wings if need be. The 32-year-old signed a minor league deal with New York in November which includes an invitation to spring training. His debut season was his best showing in the majors when the right-handed hitter slashed .324/.367/.563 with 13 home runs in 222 at-bats. He's off the fantasy radar, however, until he's getting regular at-bats in Queens.

Mets Sign Joey Meneses To Minor-League Deal

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses has signed with the New York Mets on a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring camp. Meneses debuted with the Nationals back in August of 2022 and impressed with a .324/.367/.563 slash line over 240 plate appearances with a .395 wOBA and 158 wRC+, but failed to come close to that type of production over the next two seasons. The 32-year-old finished last season with a .231/.291/.302 slash line with a .264 wOBA and 68 wRC+ in 313 plate appearances. If Meneses wants to make it back to the majors, he may have an easier path if the Mets don't re-sign Pete Alonso. Either way, he won't be on the fantasy radar unless he's getting regular at-bats with the big-league club.

Joey Meneses To Test Free Agency

According to Washington Nationals insider Bobby Blanco, first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses has elected to test free agency. Meneses had the worst season of his three-year MLB career last summer as he posted a poor .231/.291/.302 line with three home runs and two stolen bases. This was a stark contrast to the .275/.321/.401 line he held during the 2023 campaign. The 32-year-old also spent some of last season with Triple-A Rochester and carried a modest .254/.322/.471 line with 14 doubles and nine home runs. Meneses will likely find a new home but is best to leave off your fantasy radar in 2025 given his struggles last season.

Nationals Option Joey Meneses To Triple-A

The Washington Nationals optioned first baseman Joey Meneses to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday after he went 0-for-4 in 1-0 shutout victory over the division-rival New York Mets on the Fourth of July. Meneses has had a tough go of it at the plate in his third major-league season, as he came into Thursday's ballgame hitting .235/.294/.310 with a weak .605 OPS, only three home runs, 43 RBI and 19 runs scored in 75 games played. It's a big drop in performance after he hit .324 with 13 homers in his rookie season and .275 with 13 bombs and 89 RBI a year ago. The 32-year-old veteran should eventually be back in D.C., but for now, fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues should move on. Harold Ramirez and Ildemaro Vargas could split playing time at first base for the Nats with Meneses going down to the farm.

Joey Meneses Hits Two-Run Homer On Saturday

Washington Nationals first baseman Joey Meneses had a productive night in a 4-0 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Meneses went 1-for-3 with a homer and three RBI to help propel Washington to the win over the Marlins. The 32-year-old first baseman got the Nats on the board with a first-inning sacrifice fly before he later ripped a two-run homer in the eighth inning to provide a couple of insurance runs for his team. Meneses is now hitting .244 with three homers, 16 runs, 36 RBI, and two stolen bases over 217 at-bats in 2024. He's been swinging a hot bat of late, hitting .318 with six RBI over his past seven contests.

Victor Robles, Joey Meneses In Danger Of Losing Roster Spot

With Washington Nationals outfielder Lane Thomas' (knee) return on the horizon, both outfielder Victor Robles and first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses are in danger of losing their roster spot. Robles, 27, looked good in spring training, only to get hurt less than a week into the regular season. He hasn't played much since rejoining the team and has gone just 2-for-23 with five walks and nine strikeouts. Robles has been in a decline since 2019 and the Nats may finally give up on him and designated him for assignment (since he's out of minor-league options). The other option would be to send Meneses to the minors. Meneses did homer on Wednesday, but he's slashing just .234/.299/.299 while hitting in the heart of Washington's batting order.

Keibert Ruiz, Joey Meneses Sitting On Wednesday

Washington Nationals catcher Keibert Ruiz and first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses are not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against the San Francisco Giants. It's the second straight day that Ruiz has been on the bench, and the Nats also called up catcher Drew Millas, so don't be surprised if an injury pops up for the 25-year-old. Millas is behind the dish and batting eighth, while Jesse Winker is serving as the DH and batting third and Joey Gallo is at first base and hitting cleanup against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks. In addition to a potential injury bothering Ruiz, he's gone just 6-for-31 (.194) in the early going with a homer and three RBI. Meneses is also off to a slow start, going 8-for-42 (.190) with no homers and 13 strikeouts in his first 11 games in 2024.

Joey Meneses Collects Three Hits Thursday

Washington Nationals first baseman/outfielder Joey Meneses tallied three hits in Thursday's 5-3 Grapefruit League win over the Houston Astros, going 3-for-4 with an RBI, one run scored, and a stolen base. It was a nice day at the dish for Meneses, who is now hitting .303 (10-for-33) with a .755 OPS during spring training. After bursting onto the scene in 2022 with 13 home runs in 56 games for the Nats post-All-Star break following 11 seasons overseas, the 31-year-old veteran came crashing back down to earth with 13 homers in 154 outings during 2023 to go with a pedestrian .275/.321/.401 triple-slash line in 611 at-bats. Meneses is still projected to be Washington's everyday designated hitter and cleanup batter to begin the 2024 campaign, but not only is his fantasy appeal limited by a weak lineup around him, he could also eventually start to lose playing time due to how little he offers as a fielder and baserunner.

Joey Meneses Collects Five RBI Thursday

Washington Nationals designated hitter Joey Meneses went 2-for-5 and drove in five runs in a 10-7 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Meneses hit a two-run double in the fifth frame off Red Sox righty reliever Josh Winckowski. He would later smack another two-run double adding to the National's lead. The 31-year-old has been solid for Washington this season, posting a .283 batting average with 11 home runs and 68 RBI in 460 trips to the plate.
