VICTOR ROBLES NEWS

Moves to injured list Robles (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to May 20, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Manager Dave Martinez said earlier in the day the team planned to wait until Tuesday before making a roster decision, but going through with the move Sunday will potentially allow for a quicker activation since the transaction can be backdated up to only three days. As a result, Robles will be eligible to return next Sunday versus the Brewers. Andrew Stevenson figures to see significant reps in center field in the meantime for the Nationals.

Won't return Sunday Robles (ankle) remains day-to-day but is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Impact The 24-year-old will sit for the fourth straight contest as he continues to work his way through a sprained right ankle. Robles took some swings off a tee Saturday, but he apparently didn't show enough to rejoin the lineup for the series finale. Robles is expected to be reevaluated after Monday's scheduled off day, when it figures to be determined whether a trip to the injured list is necessary. Andrew Stevenson will start in center field for Washington on Sunday.

Getting active on basepaths Robles went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact The 23-year-old is up to four steals on the season, and three of them have come in the last eight games. Robles is also slashing .348/.400/.522 over that stretch with four doubles, but hitting ninth in the order is limiting the damage he can do as he has only three runs and three RBI to show for his hot streak.

Impact The center fielder enjoyed a 3-for-4 May 8 performance but has not reached base in seven plate appearances since.
