6 years agoWashington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon had an MRI, manager Davey Martinez announced on Monday, which came back as showing a contusion on his left elbow, confirming the earlier diagnosis on an injury that goes back to April 20th. Rendon continues to avoid the injured list but is once again missing from the lineup for Monday's series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. As usual, Howie Kendrick mans third base in Rendon's absence, and Kendrick is batting cleanup Monday. Rendon is hitting .356/.442/.740 with six home runs and 18 RBI in 20 games so far, so both the Nationals and his fantasy teams badly need him back at full strength as soon as possible.--Nathaniel Green
