Wieters (hamstring) was able to run on the field prior to the Nationals' game against Baltimore on Thursday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
This marks the first time he was able to run since undergoing hamstring surgery in mid-May. Though Wieters still has a ways to go on his recovery, this was a big step forward after having caught a bullpen session earlier in the week. In addition, Wieters has been playing catch since early June, so expect to see him continue running over the next couple weeks while adding in some agility drills.

Wieters (hamstring) caught a bullpen session recently, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The biggest test for Wieters will be running, which is something he has yet to do as he progresses through his recovery. He has now played catch and caught a bullpen, and it's unclear what the next step will be. His return does not appear imminent.

Wieters (hamstring) played catch Tuesday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wieters is still weeks away from returning after undergoing hamstring surgery in mid-May, but this is a small step in the right direction for the backstop. He'll continue to ramp up his activity in the coming weeks before determining the next step in his rehab.

Wieters underwent a procedure to repair his left hamstring Wednesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team has not released any more information on the matter at this juncture besides releasing a brief statement that acknowledges the surgery and that Wieters will be further evaluated once he returns to the club's facility. Consider him out indefinitely while an update on his timetable should surface in the coming days. In his absence, Pedro Severino will continue to see a majority of time behind the plate.

Wieters, who exited Thursday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks with a left leg injury, will undergo an MRI on Friday, Jack Magruder of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wieters suffered the injury as he was running past first base on a second-inning single. The catcher said he felt a twinge behind his left knee while running, suggesting that a hamstring injury could be in play. The Nationals will gain more clarity on the nature and extent of Wieters' setback Friday, but even if he's able to avoid a trip to the disabled list, the 31-year-old seems unlikely to be available for at least a day or two. Wieters' absence for any length of time would open up extra reps behind the plate for Pedro Severino.

Wieters was removed from Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks with an apparent leg injury, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury occurred when Wieters was rounding first base and he called for the team training staff almost immediately thereafter. He limped off the field under his own power but was clearly in discomfort. Pedro Severino came on to replace Wieters behind the dish. The Nationals figure to have an update on Wieters following Thursday's contest.
