• Rehab stint starting Wednesday
    Suzuki (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reported Tuesday.

    Advice: Suzuki will begin the in-game portion of his rehab from a right oblique strain, a significant progression in his return. Considering Suzuki has been sidelined for around three weeks, his stay at Triple-A could be extended. Until he gets reinstated from the 10-day IL, Patrick Wisdom and Mike Tauchman should see more work. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Out against lefty
    Blackmon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Giants.

    Advice: Southpaw Kyle Harrison will take the ball for the Giants, so it will be a day off for the left-handed hitting Blackmon. Sean Bouchard is in right field, Elias Diaz will be the designated hitter and Jacob Stallings will do the catching. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
  • Good to go Tuesday
    Garcia (wrist) is batting third and playing second base Tuesday against the Orioles, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Garcia won't miss any time after jamming his left wrist during Sunday's game, filling his usual three-hole spot against the right-handed Corbin Burnes. Garcia has generated a hit in 13 of his last 14 games, including a four-hit outing Sunday prior to the injury. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Tuesday
    Pham is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Pham started the previous six games and will receive a day off after going 6-for-24 with two doubles and two homers during that span. Rafael Ortega will man center field and bat seventh Tuesday. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to minors
    The Nationals optioned Call to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.

    Advice: He had an .851 OPS during his seven-game stint with the big club but wasn't going to be playing much with Victor Robles (hamstring) back from the injured list. Call will see action at all three outfield spots while at Rochester. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • Nationals activate Victor Robles from 10-day IL
    Nationals activated OF Victor Robles (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Robles returned to the active roster on Tuesday and will be available off the bench for the Nationals. The 26-year-old was placed on the injured list with a hamstring injury after he suffered the injury running the bases. He’ll likely get some looks as a designated hitter, but doesn’t hold much fantasy value given his playing time. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Nationals activated Robles (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Robles missed more than a month of action with a strained left hamstring but has been cleared to return after a six-game rehab stint with Triple-A Rochester during which he went 7-for-20 with one stolen base. Jacob Young has performed well in center field for the Nats, so Robles' playing time is not assured. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Moves up to leadoff spot Tuesday
    Carroll will start in center field and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game in Cincinnati.

    Advice: It's the first time since April 22 that Carroll has hit higher than seventh. The reigning National League Rookie of the Year did have two base knocks and two RBI in Monday's game, his first multi-hit effort since April 19. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
  • Not starting Tuesday
    Alexander is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Advice: Alexander will give up the shortstop spot to Kevin Newman for a second straight game. The pair should continue to split work until Geraldo Perdomo (knee) returns. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
