Nationals Place Anthony Rendon On 10-Day DL

By Mark Polishuk | April 22, 2018 at 5:10pm CDT

The Nationals announced that third baseman Anthony Rendon has been placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a left toe contusion, retroactive to April 19.  Righty Austin Adams has been recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

The DL placement concludes a frustrating week for Rendon, who hasn’t played since fouling a ball off his toe on April 13.  Both Rendon and the Nats were hopeful that Rendon could return without the need for a DL stint, though in effect, this decision led to Washington playing with a 24-man roster for over a week (though the Nats have gone 4-3 over their last seven games).  Rendon told the Washington Post’s Jorge Castillo and other reporters that his toe is still bothering him when he’s running or in the field, so it was clear that a roster decision needed to be made.  DL stints can only be backdated as far back as three days, hence the April 19 timing of the move.

While the injury still doesn’t seem terribly serious, obviously the Nats want their star third baseman back as quickly as possible, especially with Adam Eaton and Daniel Murphy both still missing from the lineup.  Wilmer Difo has been filling in for Rendon at the hot corner, with utilityman Matt Reynolds also providing depth off the Nationals’ bench.

    What’s the reason it’s retroactive to April 19th if he hasn’t played since April 13th? Why didn’t they go back to the 14th?

      “DL stints can only be backdated as far back as three days, hence the April 19 timing of the move.”
      It’s in the fine print.

        While I appreciate how wonderfully clever you are, it wasn’t there when I wrote the message. He only added it to the post after my comment.

      No, right Austin Adams the same guy who had the filthiest stuff in the Angels system and also true for the Nats system. The guy who gets stage fright.
