Sava earlier said the Louisiana congressman had been at "imminent risk of death" when he was first brought into the hospital on Wednesday, and he received many units of transfused blood. He's now expected to recover.
Medstar Washington Hospital Center released the update on behalf of the Scalise family. He has required several surgeries for a reported gunshot wound to the hip.
The man who shot Scalise and others at the baseball practice had with him a piece of paper with doodles and the names of three lawmakers, according to a person familiar with the case.
Federal Bureau of Investigation officials said Scalise acted alone and had checked if it were Republicans or Democrats practicing at the field in Alexandria, Virginia prior to shooting.

Up to eight inches of rainfall was expected in southern portions of Mississippi, Alabama and Florida through Friday morning. Mayor Tim Kerner said Thursday that streets and yards in the town of Lafitte, south of New Orleans , are flooded.
In family photos accompanying Sunday's Twitter post, Scalise is seen smiling as he enjoys everyday moments with his wife, son and daughter. Scott DesJarlais, Trent Franks, Mo Brooks, Morgan Griffith, Jim Jordan and Jeff Duncan, among others - were intended targets of 66-year-old James Hodgkinson's rampage at Eugene Simpson Stadium Park in Alexandria, Virginia Wednesday morning. Capitol Police Officers Crystal Griner and David Bailey as well as Tyson's Food lobbyist Matt Mika and congressional staffer Zack Barth were also wounded in the attack.
Sava, however, added that "an excellent recovery is a good possibility".
