The Washington Nationals reinstated third baseman Anthony Rendon from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.
Rendon suffered a left elbow contusion when he was hit by a pitch in a game against the Miami Marlins on April 20. He attempted to return to the lineup on April 26, but was 0-for-3 against the San Diego Padres and landed on the IL.
He’ll bat third on Tuesday at the Milwaukee Brewers.
Rendon, 28, is batting .356 with 10 doubles, six homers, 18 RBIs and 21 runs scored in 20 games. He had a 17-game hitting streak from March 30-April 19, the longest in the majors this season.
The Nationals made three other moves prior to Tuesday night’s game at Milwaukee.
They recalled right-hander Erick Fedde from Double-A Harrisburg, optioned infielder Carter Kieboom to Triple-A Fresno and placed left-hander Tony Sipp on the 10-day injured list with a strained oblique.
