COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A smile as wide as the infield from Washington Nationals manager Manny Acta was the first indication. A hearty handshake with trainer Lee Kuntz was another.

The pair had just watched center fielder Nook Logan run the bases in Cooper Stadium, do sprinting and cutting drills in the outfield and push his strained groin to the limit -- all without discomfort.

Logan pronounced himself ready for game action for the first time in more than a week, and Acta will grant his wish today when the Nationals and Baltimore Orioles play their penultimate spring training game in Norfolk.

"I wish my other eight guys ran like that," Acta said after the Nationals and Orioles played to a 3-3 tie in 10 innings. "He'll play [today] and have a couple of at-bats."

The teams play their preseason finale tomorrow in RFK Stadium, and Acta said Logan had to play in at least one of the games to be in the starting lineup Monday against the Florida Marlins.

"I don't see how we can throw him out there on Opening Day without playing a game," he said.

Logan seemed eager to test the injury yesterday in Columbus, site of the Nationals' new Class AAA affiliate, but understood the need for caution.

"I've got to take time with it," he said. "If they wanted me to play, I would, but they wanted to hold off another day."

He said the groin felt fine but that he was experiencing some general soreness after a series of agility and mobility tests Wednesday.

"As far as the groin, everything is going well. The only thing I don't like is the wrap," he said. "Everything else is cool."
