2025 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired from Cleveland last year in the Lane Thomas deal, Tena got a look in Washington over the final two months, mostly at third base (35 games). He smacked a walk-off hit in his team debut Aug. 10 and finished with a respectable .274 average, three homers and six steals in seven attempts across 164 plate appearances for the Nationals. Tena has some speed and has reached double-digit homers in the minor leagues several times, but it will be tough for him to stick at the hot corner long term given the general offensive expectations at the position. Realistically, he may be best suited for a utility role, but as he enters his age-24 season in 2025, Tena appears tentatively set for an extended audition as a lineup regular between third base and second base.

Taking seat Wednesday
Tena is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Tena appears to be occupying the strong side of a platoon at third base with the right-handed-hitting Amed Rosario, who will get the start Wednesday while the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the hill. Since Paul DeJong (orbital) went on the injured list April 16 to open up playing time at the hot corner, Tena is slashing .235/.264/.333 with zero home runs and stolen bases and seven RBI over 15 games.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tena climbed three levels in 2023, culminating in his major league debut receiving 34 plate appearances and slashing .226/.294/.290 in 18 games played. Tena's bat played much better in both Double-A and Triple-A, combining for 35 extra base hits, eight of which were home runs, and 16 steals across the two levels of the minors. If the 22-year-old breaks camp with Cleveland, he should be viewed as a utility option at best with the capability of playing multiple infield roles, but no clear path to starting at any of them.
