Wieters makes rehab start at Bowie

Matt Wieters is no stranger to Prince George’s Stadium in Bowie, as he hit an impressive .365 for the Double-A Baysox in 2008 in the Orioles farm system.

Now a Nationals catcher, Wieters was back in Bowie on Saturday night in a minor league rehab game with the Harrisburg (Pa.) Senators of the Eastern League.

The last time Wieters played at Bowie was in three games on a minor league rehab assignment with the Orioles in 2015. Tonight he is in the visiting clubhouse behind the left field foul pole with Harrisburg, the Double-A affiliate of the Nationals.
