Jonathan Lucroy: Elects free agency

Lucroy cleared waivers Thursday and has elected free agency, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Lucroy was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Monday, but he was unable to find another spot on a 40-man roster. Rather than serving as organizational depth for the Nationals, the 34-year-old will be free to sign with another team at some point in 2021. Lucroy appeared in five games for Washington this year and went 5-for-14 with a double and two RBI.
