Dickerson is out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson was just activated from a lengthy stint on the IL to heal a calf strain, but he'll ride the pine with left-hander Jesus Luzardo on the mound for Miami. Stone Garrett is in left field and hitting eighth.

The Nationals activated Dickerson (calf) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has been out since straining his left calf shortly after Opening Day. He should see plenty of starts in left field against righties, at least while Alex Call is playing center field with Victor Robles (back) on the IL. With southpaw David Peterson on the hill for the Mets in Monday's series finale, Dickerson will cede left field to the righty-hitting Stone Garrett.

Dickerson (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has been out since early April with a left calf strain but is ready to test things out in game action. He was seeing regular action against righties before getting hurt, and current left-field options Stone Garrett, Jake Alu and Alex Call all hit right-handed.

Dickerson (calf) ran for the first time Tuesday during his rehab program and is working towards reaching certain thresholds, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has been on the injured list with his left calf strain since the beginning of April. The outfielder will likely need a lengthy rehab stint after missing more than a month, but it sounds like a chance to get back on the field -- albeit in the minors -- is coming soon.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Tuesday that the pain in Dickerson's left calf is diminishing, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson still has yet to start running again, but the team hopes for that to change by next week. There's no target date in place for Dickerson to return to the Nationals' lineup, but it appears his time on the injured list will likely extend well into May.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Dickerson (calf) still hasn't been cleared for running, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has been hitting and throwing for a week now, but he still has some major hurdles to clear in his return from a left calf strain that he suffered on April 1. He's at least another full week away from rejoining the Nationals' active roster.

Dickerson (calf) had not been cleared for running as of Thursday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson is currently traveling with the Nationals and has been taking light swings, but he likely won't be ready to return from the 10-day IL when first eligible next week. The veteran outfielder suffered a left calf strain last Saturday. Alex Call has been getting the majority of starts in left field for the Nats in Dickerson's absence.

Dickerson was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left calf strain.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old exited Saturday's contest with the injury and will miss the next week and a half, at minimum. Stone Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move and could see action in left field while Dickerson is sidelined, though Alex Call may have a leg up for playing time.

Dickerson left Saturday's game against Atlanta with a left calf injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson was replaced in left by Ildemaro Vargas. Dickerson should be considered day-to-day for now and is likely to sit out Sunday's series finale against Atlanta as a precautionary measure, at least.

Dickerson will be on the bench Opening Day against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran outfielder is expected to be the Nationals' primary left fielder this season, but Alex Call will get the nod in that spot Opening Day against southpaw Max Fried. Dickerson could be more effective in a platoon role -- the 33-year-old has a career .836 OPS against right-handed pitching, compared to a .693 OPS versus lefties.
