The Nationals acquired Voit, left-hander MacKenzie Gore, right-hander Jarlin Susana, outfielders Robert Hassell and James Wood and shortstop CJ Abrams from the Padres on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Diego initially planned to include Eric Hosmer as the veteran piece headed to the Nationals in the blockbluster deal, but Hosmer used his no-trade clause to decline the move to Washington. Hosmer was later shipped to Boston, and the Padres and Nationals kept the skeleton of the deal in place until Voit was swapped in for Hosmer as a replacement. With Washington, Voit should slot into the everyday role at first base that was vacated by Bell. The move from one of baseball's top teams to one of its worst may hurt Voit from a run-producing and run-scoring standpoint, but he should at least face less competition for at-bats in his new organization. Voit hit .225 with 13 home runs, one stolen base, 48 RBI and 38 runs in 82 games with San Diego this season.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 10-1 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
This was Voit's fourth multi-hit effort in July. His two-run homer in the first inning was all the support Blake Snell would need, though Voit also knocked an RBI double in the fifth. The 31-year-old slugger is up to 13 long balls, 47 RBI, 38 runs scored, 18 doubles and a stolen base through 79 contests.

Voit went 1-for-4 with three RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
He helped break a 3-3 tie in the top of the 10th, when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Jurickson Profar. Voit, who is getting on base at a .409 clip through the Padres' first five games out of the All-Star break, will start at first base and bat cleanup in Wednesday's series finale.

Voit went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Voit put the Padres ahead with his sixth-inning blast. He's gone 2-for-8 across his last two games after snapping an 0-for-18 skid at the plate. That dry spell has caused his slash line to sag to .219/.309/.404 in 298 plate appearances. The slugger has added 11 homers -- matching his total from 68 contests last season -- with 39 RBI, 32 runs scored, a stolen base and 15 doubles through 71 games.

Voit is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Voit went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Voit was one of four Padres to log multiple hits, and both of his went for extra bases. He smacked a double in the second inning and added a solo shot in the eighth. The 31-year-old had a bit of a power binge in June with six homers, and it only took him two contests into July to snap a 10-game drought without a long ball. He's up to a .232/.319/.432 slash line with 10 homers, 34 RBI, 29 runs scored, a stolen base and 14 doubles through 60 contests this year.

Voit is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Voit started the past two games after missing one contest due to hamstring soreness, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Jorge Alfaro will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Austin Nola starts behind the plate.

Voit (hamstring) will bat third as the designated hitter Friday against the Phillies, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Voit was withheld from Thursday's lineup due to hamstring soreness, but it was a minor issue and he'll quickly rejoin the starting nine. The 31-year-old is 1-for-11 over his past three games, though overall in June he has an .882 OPS with six home runs, 10 doubles, 22 RBI and 12 runs.
