Nationals' Joey Gallo: Begins running program

Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Monday that Gallo (hamstring) has started a light running program, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Gallo suffered a significant hamstring strain June 11 and has been on the 10-day injured list ever since. The running program is the first substantial step in his recovery and he'll likely have to ramp up his workload over a series of days prior to being considered for a rehab assignment.
