Wieters (hamstring) is scheduled to start his rehab assignment with seven innings at Double-A Harrisburg on Saturday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wieters was running the bases Thursday and he is apparently feeling no ill effects and is ready for the minor-league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old indicated last week he hopes to return to the Nationals before the All-Star break, and while that is certainly still possible, a return just after the mid-season festivities seems more likely.
