Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon will be sent down to Double-A Harrisburg after Thursday's game against the Braves, according to the Washington Times. Rendon will travel with the Nationals to Pittsburgh Friday before joining the team in Harrisburg. Ryan Zimmerman is expected to come off the disabled list to take Rendon's place on the roster.
Rendon closed out his stay with the major-league team with one of his best performances, as he went 2 for 3 with a walk and a run scored in a 3-1 win over the Braves.
Rendon batted .240 with a .367 on-base percentage and one extra-base hit in eight appearances.
