The Nationals recalled House from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday. He'll start at third base and bat fifth in the Nationals' series finale versus the Diamondbacks.
With Washington having traded Curtis Mead to Boston, House will come up from Triple-A to fill the open spot on the 26-man active roster. House served as the Nationals' primary third baseman to begin the season and produced a .681 OPS in 44 games prior to his demotion May 18. After putting together a .301/.342/.500 slash line with a 23.9 percent strikeout rate over 222 plate appearances at Triple-A, House could end up garnering another look as an everyday player at the hot corner, though Jorbit Vivas and Jose Tena also loom as options at third base.
