Swipes fifth bag Robles went 0-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

Impact After being hit by a pitch in the ninth inning, Robles swiped second base and came around with an insurance run on a Trea Turner single. The steal, Robles' fifth of the year, was the clearest sign yet he's fully recovered from his ankle injury, but he's still gone 0-for-8 since coming off the IL, and on the season the center fielder is slashing a poor .230/.338/.303.

Beginning rehab assignment Robles (ankle) will begin his rehab assignment with Double-A Harrisburg on Sunday, batting leadoff as the designated hitter, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact This is encouraging news for the Nationals, as they've been without Robles since he suffered the injury on May 19. It's not known exactly how many games Washington wants the outfielder to get under his belt before rejoining the big club, but a return appears likely to come within the next few days assuming all goes well during the rehab assignment.
