Boone reinstated, Gonzalez to DL
The Nationals reinstated infielder Aaron Boone from the 15-day disabled list today and placed shortstop Alberto Gonzalez on the 15-day DL, retroactive to August 5th, with a left hamstring strain.
Boone, who missed 30 games with a left calf strain, was recalled from Triple-A Columbus. In four games during his rehab assignment with the Clippers and the Nationals Gulf Coast affiliate, Boone went 2-11 with a double. Prior to landing on the DL, he was hitting .258 with nine doubles, a triple, five home runs and 17 RBI in 71 games.
Gonzalez injured his hamstring in Colorado on August 4th and left the game in the sixth inning. Before the injury, Gonzalez, who was acquired from the Yankees on July 31st, was batting .462 with three doubles and three runs scored.
