Doug Fister will make one more rehab start Friday with Double-A Harrisburg before returning to the Washington Nationals starting rotation, according to CSNWashington.com.
The 31-year-old right-hander will join an injury-plagued rotation possibly next week after start on Friday.
Fister will make a rehab start for Harrisburg on Friday, expected to go up to 75 pitches. Sounds like if that goes well, he'll come off DL.

Fister was placed on the DL on May 15 after suffering a flexor strain in his pitching elbow. Luckily for the veteran, he did not need Tommy John surgery and will have a chance to bounce back from a rocky start of the 2015 season.
In seven starts, he sported a 2-2 record with a 4.31 ERA. Last season was his best in his career and his first with the Nats. Fister went 16-6 with a 2.41 ERA.
In his last rehab start, he allowed two runs (one earned) over 3 2/3 innings Saturday with Triple-A Syracuse.
