Anthony Rendon missed 14 games while a left elbow contusion healed, before returning to the Washington Nationals’ lineup for the first time since April 26th, six days after he’d been hit on the left elbow in an April 20th game in Miami. Rendon tested the elbow after the hit-by-pitch, and it didn’t react well, so he ended up going on the 10-Day Injured List on April 30th.
In his first at bat upon being reinstated from the IL, Rendon got hit by a pitch thrown by the Milwaukee Brewers’ “opener” Adrian Houser.
