Werth (toe) reported Tuesday that he has been dealing with a fracture in his foot in addition to his bone bruise, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth recently had to dial back his rehab program as his injured foot wasn't responding as well as he had hoped. The veteran outfielder has been able to partake in most baseball activities but still is not able to run at full speed. He has healed considerably since being placed on the DL in early June but still seems to be at least a week or two away from rejoining the big-league club.

Werth (toe) has had trouble progressing over the course of the past couple weeks, and will not head out on a rehab assignment until he is pain-free, Jorge Castillo of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth has been out of the lineup since early June, but this setback is concerning after manager Dusty Baker announced that the outfielder would likely begin a rehab assignment following the end of the All-Star break. The Nationals haven't announced a new plan for Werth as of yet, but will wait until he is sure that his toe is healthy enough to perform baseball activities before sending him to the minors to shake off the rust.

Manager Dusty Baker said that he's targeting Werth (toe) to return to the lineup during the Nationals' series with the Diamondbacks on July 21 through 23, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Since shedding his walking boot, Werth has made good progress in ramping up his activity, most recently working out at the team's facility in West Palm Beach. If all goes as planned, he could embark on a rehab assignment in a week or so prior to returning to full action in time for the series with Arizona, although the exact date should become clear as he makes more progress in his rehab program.

Werth (toe) has been working out with the Nationals' Gulf Coast League affiliate in West Palm Beach in recent days, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth isn't scheduled to rejoin the Nationals before the All-Star break and will remain in Florida until he's cleared to head out on a rehab assignment to one of the organization's other minor-league affiliates. Once that happens, the Nationals should be able to establish a clearer timetable for Werth's return from the 10-day disabled list.

Werth (toe) was able to stretch on the field with his teammates prior to Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the first time Werth was able to participate in pregame stretching since landing on the DL at the beginning of June. While he wasn't able to participate in full activities, he was able to jog lightly on the side, which is encouraging progress. Werth will continue to slowly work his way back, with his sights set on a return after the All-Star break barring any setbacks.

Manager Dusty Baker said he hopes Werth (toe) will be ready to return from the disabled list after the All-Star break, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth was able to take swings for the first time since landing on the disabled list at the beginning of the month, and the hope is that he'll be able to head to extended spring training to start baseball activities in the near future. If the 38-year-old is able to progress on schedule, he would be ready to rejoin the Nationals around July 14.

Manager Dusty Baker said Werth (foot) is out of his walking boot and making good progress, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth continues to slowly work his way back from a toe injury that has kept him sidelined for most of June. He hasn't resumed baseball activities yet, though an updated timetable for his return should be available when he is able to do so.

Manager Dusty Baker said Werth (toe) is progressing but hasn't resumed baseball activities yet, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth continues to receive treatment on his injured toe, and while he has recently progressed to conditioning exercises in the pool, he remains a ways away from embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. He'll continue to slowly work his way back, while a further update on his status should be available when the Nationals return from their road trip Thursday.

Manager Dusty Baker said Werth (toe) is still a ways away from returning, Dan Kolko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth landed on the disabled list earlier in the week after fouling a ball off his toe. While it was originally thought that he would be ready to return from the DL once eligible, it appears the ailment may be more serious than originally thought. His foot is still pretty swollen, so the Nationals will likely wait for that to go down before determining Werth's next step.

Werth (toe) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Werth will head to the disabled list as a result of a foul ball that hit his toe Saturday night. The Nationals don't expect him to miss more than a handful of days with the ailment, so it seems like he'll be back after the minimum 10 days on the shelf. Ryan Raburn was called up from the minors to replace him.
