The park is the site of the annual Congressional Baseball Game, where lawmakers gathered earlier this year in a show of unity following a baseball practice shooting.

Scalise was critically injured in June when a gunman opened fire on the GOP baseball team as it practiced ahead of this year’s congressional game. Scalise and three others were shot.

The No. 3 House Republican returned to Capitol Hill last week. He is still undergoing rehabilitation and has been using crutches and a motorized scooter to get around.

The Nationals and Cubs are squaring off Friday night in Game 1 of their National League Division Series.
