Nationals designated José Tena for assignment.

Just a little over two years ago, the Nationals acquired Tena from the Guardians for Lane Thomas at the trade deadline. The 25-year-old hit .242/.306/.364 with 10 home runs and 59 RBI during his tenure with the Nationals. The Nationals needed spots on their 40-man roster with the 60-day injured list players being activated on Monday, so they decided to move on from Tena.
