DeJong (orbital) will meet with his surgeon Saturday and could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment early next week, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

DeJong has been out since taking a Mitch Keller fastball to the face April 15. He faced live pitching Wednesday for the first time since the incident, and came away feeling ready to ramp back up. Manager Dave Martinez indicated that DeJong would be brought along slowly once he kicks off his rehab stint, but the 31-year-old infielder remains on track to rejoin the Nationals in early July.
