Nationals' Keibert Ruiz: Takes part in BP
Keibert Ruiz remains in the concussion protocol but resumed taking swings in batting practice last week, MLB.com reports.The Washington Nationals haven't provided many updates on Ruiz's status since he was placed on the 7-day injured list July 8, but Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reported last Thursday that the 27-year-old still hoped to get cleared and play again later this season.

Riley Adams has been the team's starting catcher in Ruiz's absence, but the Nats will need a new backup after Drew Millas suffered a fractured and dislocated left index finger in Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
