Hanser Alberto has been cleared to play tonight and is starting at third base in D.C.

Alberto left Sunday's game with a head contusion and cervical neck strain.

Renato Núñez was removed from the same game with discomfort behind his left knee. In the hamstring "area." But he's starting at first base tonight.
