Carp has been released by the Dodgers, True Blue LA's Eric Stephen reports. Carp has bounced around quite a bit over the past few seasons, and he can probably find another organization that gives him a better chance to reach the majors. The Dodgers already have more starting-caliber batters than spots in the lineup.

Carp signed a minor league contract with the Dodgers and will play for Triple-A Oklahoma City, CBSSports.com reports. Carp will make the equivalent of $1 million for the season if he's called up to the majors. He likely doesn't have a viable path to playing with the Dodgers, however, unless there are several injuries.

Carp has opted out of his contract and will be granted his release by the Nationals, James Wagner of the Washington Post reports. Carp had been competing for one of the final bench spots on the roster, but that run ended when he was designated for assignment Saturday.The 28-year-old will look to catch on with another organization in search of a low-cost, left-handed power bat off the bench.

Carp was reassigned to Washington's minor league camp and must decide whether to opt out of his contract, the MASN reports. Carp lost out on the final Washington bench spot to Clint Robinson. Carp will likely begin the season in Triple-A even if he switches organizations.

Carp is battling Clint Robinson for the final spot on the Nationals' bench, the Washington Post reports. Robinson has been the far better hitter this spring, but Carp is the more experienced big league player. Whoever wins the job will have limited fantasy value as a left-handed pinch-hitter, and would be on the 25-man roster only until injured players like Anthony Rendon (knee) and Jayson Werth (shoulder) get healthy.

The Nationals' right-handed-heavy starting lineup could give Carp an edge on Tyler Moore in the spring battle for a bench spot, the Washington Post reports. Moore is out of options, however, which could complicate the roster decisions for the Nats. Given the injury history of first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, whoever wins the job backing him up could have more fantasy value than expected in deeper NL-only leagues.

Carp agreed to a minor league deal with the Nationals that includes an invite to spring training, Chelsea Janes of the Washington Post reports. Carp posted a .296/.362/.523 slash line over 216 at-bats for the Red Sox in 2013, but he struggled with both Boston and Texas last season, finishing with a combined .175/.289/.230 line in 126 at-bats. He's capable of playing both first base and outfield, but his range in the outfield is pretty shaky, and he may face an uphill battle to break camp with the big league club.

The Rangers designated Carp for assignment Saturday. Carp's tenure with the Rangers was nothing short of a disaster, as he hit just .125/.217/.125 in 17 games (46 plate appearances). Chances are, he'll pass through waivers unclaimed and once again elect free agency, but Carp hit .296/.362/.523 with the Red Sox last season and could draw some interest as a bench bat.

Carp is out of the lineup Saturday versus the Angels, John Blake of the Rangers' official site reports. Since returning to action Tuesday following a brief absence due a tight groin, Carp has recorded two singles and two walks in 13 at-bats. He'll hand off first base to J.P Arencibia, who is batting sixth in the order.

Carp (groin) is back in the lineup Tuesday versus the Rays, John Blake of the Rangers' official site reports. After leaving Saturday's game due to a tight left groin, Carp sat out Sunday, before receiving a pinch-hit opportunity Monday, inducing a walk in the process. On Tuesday, he'll cover first base and bat third in the order.
