Rick Ankiel (quad) will be activated from the disabled list Saturday. In fact, Nationals manager Davey Johnson said he'll start in center field for Saturday's game against the Reds. Ankiel showed no signs of his quad injury during his rehab assignment, batting .400 (8-for-20) with three homers and seven RBI over eight games between Class A Hagerstown, Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Syracuse.
