The Washington Nationals returned from rehab and reinstated outfielder Victor Robles from the 10-day Injured List and optioned outfielder Alex Call to Triple-A Rochester on Friday. Nationals President of Baseball Operations and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.

Robles, 26, hit .292 with four doubles, a triple, eight RBI, 10 walks, 13 runs and eight stolen bases in 31 games this season before he was placed on the Injured List with back spasms on May 8. While making his way back from the injury, he reached base in all four rehab games he played in for Triple-A Rochester. Robles went 4-for-7 (.571) with a double, two home runs, five RBI, a walk and five runs scored in his final two games for the Red Wings.

A veteran of parts of seven Major League seasons, Robles is a career .237 hitter with 77 doubles, 11 triples, 31 home runs, 154 RBI, 108 walks, 208 runs and 66 stolen bases. He is a two-time Rawlings Gold Glove finalist (2019, 2022) and led National League center fielders in defensive runs saved (12) last season according to FanGraphs.com.

Call, 28, hit .209 with three home runs, nine doubles, 20 RBI, 26 walks, 24 runs and six stolen bases in 64 games for the Nationals this season.
