"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon has a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and will miss a few days of action, the team announced.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rendon was injured after diving for a ground ball in the top of the sixth inning of a game against the Atlanta Braves on Monday. He did not play in the other three spring training games this week.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CIt\u2019s mild,\u201D Nationals manager Matt Williams said, according to the &lt;em&gt;Washington Times&lt;/em&gt;. \u201CIt wasn\u2019t getting better as quickly as we thought it would and he wanted it to be. We got an [X-ray] of it yesterday. So, it\u2019s a mild sprain. We\u2019ll shut him down for a few days. Make sure that it\u2019s good.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;JAFFE: Polanco, Grandal among NL players ready to break out in 2015&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Williams called the injury \u201Codd\u201D and that he expects Rendon to be playing in about a week.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CThere\u2019s no issue with strength, it\u2019s not loose,\u201D Williams said. \u201CIt\u2019s a very mild sprain, but we just want to be cautious with it and that when he gets back out there, he doesn\u2019t feel pain.\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rendon hit .287 with 21 home runs and 83 RBI in 153 games last season for Washington.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- &lt;em&gt;Scooby Axson&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
