According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, David DeJesus has been claimed off revocable waivers.

The Nationals acquired DeJesus from the Cubs on Monday for a player to be named later but could now look to move him to get out of the $2.5 million in salary that the outfielder is still owed. DeJesus is still a productive and versatile player, and would be a nice addition for a contending club. The Nationals can either pull him back off waivers, try to work out a trade with the team that claimed him or let him go to that team for free.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Nationals have placed David DeJesus on waivers.

Yes, they have placed him on waivers the same day that they acquired him. It appears that the Nats' main intention was not to trade for DeJesus but rather to keep someone else from getting him. They inherited the just over $1 million on his contract for the rest of the season, as well as the $6.5 million club option (or $1.5 million buyout) for 2014.

Nationals acquired OF David DeJesus from the Cubs for a player to be named later.

CBS Sports' Danny Knobler was the first to report the trade. DeJesus is batting .268/.349/.444 against right-handed pitching this season and will provide outfield depth. The Nationals have released Roger Bernadina to clear a spot on the 25-man roster.

David DeJesus will bat cleanup for the first time in his career Friday against the Cardinals.

DeJesus has started out of every spot in the order except fourth during his career, but he can scratch that one off the bucket list Friday against St. Louis. Of course, this speaks more to the pathetic Cubs' lineup than DeJesus' production.

David DeJesus went 2-for-3 with three RBI in the win over the Brewers on Wednesday.

DeJesus was rumored to be on the trading block in the hours leading up to the deadline, but the outfielder remained a Cub and celebrated by posting his third straight multi-hit game. He's raised his average from .260 to .273 in those three games. The three RBI gave him 27 on the year, as the 33-year-old has served primarily as the Cubs' leadoff hitter this season.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Cubs expect to move either David DeJesus or Nate Schierholtz.

Rosenthal speculates that DeJesus might be more likely to be moved, as Schierholtz could be a fit for the Cubs in 2014. He will be a free agent after this season, though. Rosenthal hears that the Pirates are involved on both players.

DeJesus has more range of motion in his strained shoulder, but there's no timetable for his return.

It's progressing the right way.''
