Paul DeJong Returning to Washington
Washington Nationals infielder Paul DeJong (face) is heading to D.C. to rejoin the team, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports. The Nationals will have to make a corresponding roster move if they activate DeJong before Tuesday's series opener against the Detroit Tigers. DeJong suffered a gruesome injury when Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller hit him in the face with a 92.7 mph fastball on April 15. As a result, he required surgery to repair his sinuses and orbital plate. Before going on the shelf, DeJong hit .204/.246/.276 with no home runs in 57 plate appearances while mostly playing third base. The Nationals haven't gotten much production from anyone this year at the hot corner. They promoted standout prospect Brady House two weeks ago, but the 22-year-old has slumped to a .231/.268/.288 line in 56 homer-less trips to the plate.
