The 33-year-old, an All-Star in the three of the previous four seasons, missed the first 64 games while recovering from right knee surgery on Oct. 20. He hit .243 (9 for 37) with two doubles, two homers, seven RBIs and six walks in 10 games during an injury rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Harrisburg.
Washington optioned infielder Adrian Sanchez to Triple-A Syracuse.
