Washington Nationals outfielder Kyle Schwarber is headed to Boston, the Red Sox announced Thursday. Boston is sending minor league right-handed pitcher Aldo Ramirez to Washington in the deal.

Schwarber hasn't played since being placed on the 10-day injured list on July 3 with what manager Dave Martinez called a "significant" strain of his right hamstring. Martinez didn't want to give an exact time frame at the time but said the outfielder will be on the IL for more than 10 days.

Prior to his injury, Schwarber slashed .253/.340/.570 with 25 home runs and 53 RBIs over 72 games in his lone season in Washington. Prior to that, the All-Star spent the first six seasons of his career with the Cubs, helping Chicago to a World Series championship in 2016.

Ramirez is the No. 19 prospect in the Red Sox's system, per MLB Pipeline.

Earlier Thursday, sources told The Athletic that the Dodgers are working to get both Max Scherzer and Trea Turner from the Nationals. Hurdles still remain to get the deal done.

The Red Sox have designated right-hander Brandon Workman for assignment to make room for Schwarber on the 40-man roster.
