Stephen Drew is back after missing a month and a half with hamstring trouble. (Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post)SAN FRANCISCO — Try as he might, Stephen Drew could not find anywhere to play rehab games over the last week. “He gives us a rest for some of our big guys on the infield, especially Anthony [Rendon], Trea [Turner], and [Daniel] Murphy,” Baker said. The Nationals certainly hope he will return to form quickly, as Drew established himself as a consistent and crucial bench contributor during his brief Nationals tenure. After compiling an .864 OPS in 165 plate appearances last season, Drew was hitting .222 when he hit the disabled list.
