Rendon's rehab interrupted by oblique injury

WASHINGTON -- The mystery surrounding Anthony Rendon's injury is over. The "tightness" in his left side that kept the Nationals infielder out of four rehab games last week was diagnosed Monday as an oblique injury.

There is no timetable for Rendon's return or when he can aggressively begin rehab, manager Matt Williams said.

"We're going to have to slow his progress down a little bit," Williams said after Washington's 6-4 victory over the Marlins at Nationals Park. "He's felt it for the last few days, so we're going to sit him a little bit longer and make sure it's OK before he resumes activity.
