Andrew Stevenson (oblique tweak) has been rehabbing at Triple-A Rochester since back on July 4th, after he ended up on the 10-Day IL on June 18th, retroactive to June 17, and if there was any chance of him joining the big league team again before the All-Star break, it won’t be happening.
Before last night’s game, the Nationals announced that they had reinstated him from the IL and optioned him to Rochester.
Through three games with the Nationals’ top minor league affiliate, Stevenson, who got a night off on Thursday, but was back in the lineup on Friday night, was 4 for 9 at the plate, with two walks and two Ks in his first three games.
