WASHINGTON– A core piece of the Washington Nationals’ lineup has been placed on the Disabled List.
3B Anthony Rendon is on the shelf with a left toe contusion.
Rendon, 27, was hitting .286 with 1 HR and 4 RBI’s over 14 games so far in 2018.
The injury sprung up after Rendon hit a foul ball off of his foot on April 13, but he attempted to play through it.
After sitting out for the past week and leaving the team with a shorthanded roster, the Nationals placed Rendon on the Disabled List, retroactive to April 19.
The earliest he is eligible to return is Sunday, April 29.
