Filling in for resting Luis Garcia DeJong will start at second base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

Impact After he was on the bench for each of the last three games, the right-handed-hitting DeJong will re-enter the starting nine Wednesday while the left-handed-hitting Luis Garcia takes a seat against Athletics southpaw Jeffrey Springs. DeJong is slashing .231/.283/.374 overall on the season and looks destined to remain in a utility role unless an injury opens up an everyday job at second base, third base or shortstop.

Swats first homer of 2025 DeJong went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

Impact In his third game since returning from a fractured orbital bone suffered in April 15, DeJong got hold of a Dietrich Enns fastball and drove it over the fence in right-center field. It was DeJong's first homer of 2025, and while the veteran infielder has lost his starting spot at third base to rookie Brady House, he could still get significant playing time in a utility role.

JULY 1, 2025 • Associated Press

Reinstated from injured list The Nationals activated DeJong (orbital) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact DeJong has been sidelined since mid-April due to a fractured nose and orbital bone, but he is ready to go following a 12-game rehab stint with Double-A Harrisburg. The 31-year-old had been serving as the Nationals' primary third baseman prior to getting hurt, but with Brady House now holding down that job, DeJong is likely to serve as a reserve infielder.

Impact DeJong landed on the IL in mid-April after he fractured his nose and orbital bone when he was hit in the face by a pitch from the Pirates' Mitch Keller. After undergoing surgery to address the injury, DeJong was cleared for a rehab assignment in mid-June, and in 12 games with Double-A Harrisburg, he has slashed .275/.348/.375 with one steal and one home run. The 31-year-old had been serving as the Nationals' primary third baseman prior to getting hurt, but he may have to settle for a utility role upon his return if Washington remains committed to letting rookie Brady House play regularly.

Impact DeJong landed on the 10-day IL in mid-April after his nose was broken when he was hit in the face by a pitch from Mitch Keller. DeJong was cleared for a rehab assignment in mid-June, and in 11 games with Double-A Harrisburg he has slashed .306/.381/.417 with one steal, one home run and six RBI across 42 plate appearances, and he appears to be on track to return to the big club Tuesday. The 31-year-old infielder had a .524 OPS across 57 plate appearances in the majors this season before his injury.
