Named after New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter, infielder Jeter Downs is now a member of the Hall of Famer's organization after he was claimed off waivers Tuesday from the Washington Nationals.
Downs, 25, played in six games with the Nationals in 2023, batting 2-for-5 with one RBI and two stolen bases. Washington claimed him off waivers from the Boston Red Sox last December.
