Wander Suero - Rehab starting SundaySuero (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Rochester, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.
ImpactSuero has been out with a strained oblique since mid-April. He threw 22 pitches in a simulated game Thursday, so he shouldn't be too far from returning to the active roster if he gets through a rehab appearance without issues.

Juan Soto - Cleared to serve as DHSoto (shoulder) will bat third and serve as the designated hitter Friday against the Yankees, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.
ImpactSoto returned from the injured list Tuesday but was limited to pinch-hit duty during the midweek series against Atlanta. He went 0-for-3 during his opportunities off the bench, but there should be little concern about his bat going forward, as he was able to swing without issues throughout his time on the injured list. When exactly Soto will be cleared to take the field remains to be seen, but the Nationals don't play in a National League park until Tuesday, so he still has a few more days before that will become a potential issue.
