BOWIE, Md. — Washington Nationals infielder Anthony Rendon played seven innings at second base for Double-A Harrisburg on Friday night in the first game of his most recent minor-league rehabilitation assignment.
Rendon has been recovering from a strained left oblique for the past four weeks. He went 1 for 4 at the plate Friday with a single and three strikeouts, the last of which came with two outs and the bases loaded in the seventh inning. He also fielded four groundballs at second base and made a difficult turn in a potential 6-4-3 double play, which was negated because the runner beat Rendon’s throw to first base.
