Without playing in any rehab games for the Washington Nationals affiliates, Stephen Drew was activated off the ten day disabled list yesterday. It is a much needed return for the Nats since they began a stretch yesterday where they will play 23 games in 24 days, including this nine game road trip.
Outside of Adam Lind, it’s been a tough start for the Washington Nationals bench this season. In pinch-hitting situations, the Nats are hitting .230 with four home runs and 14 RBI’s. Those numbers are okay, but keep in mind Lind has three of those homers and nine of those RBI’s.
