Nationals center fielder Denard Span will likely be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list Sunday and return to the starting lineup for Washington’s series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Span returned to Nationals Park on Saturday morning to go through a workout with team trainers. He ran sprints in the outfield and took swings in the batting cage, hitting balls either off a tee or flipped to him by a trainer. He said he emerged from those workouts without any issues.
Manager Matt Williams said the Nationals would see how Span felt Saturday evening and evaluate him further Sunday morning, but all signs point to an imminent return.
