Morales (thumb) has gone 3-for-12 with a home run, a stolen base, four walks, three runs and two RBI in four games since being reinstated from Double-A Harrisburg's 7-day injured list Thursday.
Morales had been out of action for nearly three months due to a left thumb injury before he made his return to the Harrisburg lineup last week. The 22-year-old third baseman is slashing .239/.327/.359 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 162 plate appearances for the Double-A club this season.
Morales (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Fredericksburg on Tuesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
Morales has been sidelined since May due to a left thumb injury, but he's feeling good enough to participate in games. The 22-year-old infielder has been a fast riser through the Nationals' farm system and has slashed .238/.315/.346 in 146 appearances at Double-A Harrisburg this season.

Rotowire
Morales was placed on the 7-day injured list this week at Double-A Harrisburg due to a thumb injury, Bobby Blanco of MASN Sports reports.
The 22-year-old was injured Saturday on a play at home plate as he tried to score on a wild pitch. Morales has having a tepid start to the season, slashing .238/.315/.346 with two homers in 37 games for Harrisburg, but the 2023 second-round pick might be able to use the time off to clear his head and re-focus. There's no timeline for Morales' return to the lineup.
