NATS GAME NIGHT, GAME 135: Return of Jesus

That's right, the Washington Nationals today reinstated catcher Jesus Flores from the 15-Day Disabled List. Nationals Senior Vice President and General Manager Mike Rizzo made the announcement.

Flores missed the last 105 games after going on the Disabled List (right shoulder) on May 15, retroactive to May 10. He injured the shoulder when he was struck by a foul tip on May 9 at Arizona. The 24-year-old has batted .311 (28-for-90) with three doubles, two triples, four home runs and 15 RBI in 26 games this season with Washington.

I can't imagine him playing a whole lot, but they'll probably try to get him some at bats here and there down the stretch.
