Pudge ran the bases and played catch on Saturday, will take batting practice on Sunday, and hopes to fit in a one-game rehab assignment Monday before rejoining the Nats on Tuesday. It sounds like a bad idea to rush him back, but it would certainly be nice to have a veteran presence behind the mound in D.C. Tuesday for Strasburg's much-hyped MLB debut.
