Nationals Designate Emilio Bonifacio

By Jeff Todd | August 6, 2020 at 9:46am CDT

The Nationals have designated veteran utilityman Emilio Bonifacio for assignment, the club announced. Righty James Bourque was also optioned down as the team trimmed its active roster as required.

Bonifacio, 35, hadn’t seen the majors in the past two seasons but drew the Nats’ attention as an offseason target. He seemed to have a bead on a utility role but ultimately saw little action, striking out twice in three plate appearances.

The Nationals ended up securing the services of Josh Harrison, who has been given more opportunities in the early going. And the team evidently still prefers not to give up on the out-of-options Wilmer Difo. That left Bonifacio on the chopping block.

    Surprised Bonifacio lasted this long. I would of predicted he be gone the day after the base running mistake against the Yankees

    Saw Boni in the Nats uniform and couldn’t believe it. He was done when he was a Blue Jay. Speedster who couldn’t bunt well or field well. Wasn’t the smartest player either. Showed that again when he ran into Robles in the outfield.
