Nationals Activate DeJong, Option Chaparro to Triple-A

News summary

Washington Nationals infielder Paul DeJong has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list after recovering from a fractured nose, cheekbone, and orbital floor sustained when he was hit by a pitch on April 15. DeJong underwent surgery and played a 12-game rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg, where he hit .275 with a home run and six RBIs. Prior to his injury, DeJong was the Nationals’ primary third baseman, but prospect Brady House has since taken over that position. DeJong will now serve as a versatile backup infielder. To make room for DeJong, the Nationals optioned Andrés Chaparro to Triple-A Rochester. The team’s game against the Detroit Tigers was postponed due to weather and rescheduled as part of a doubleheader the next day.
