Stephen Drew serving as Nationals' DH Monday against Kansas City

Washington Nationals infielder Stephen Drew will serve as the designated hitter Monday versus the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Nationals manager Dusty Baker said he's going with Drew because of his success against Edinson Volquez in the past. That success? 4-for-11 with four singles and a walk. Baker plans to rotate the DH spot for the rest of the series, with Jayson Werth and Ryan Zimmerman also seeing time there.

Drew is just 3-for-24 on the year (.125/.160/.250) with a .182 wOBA. He has one homer this season, which is his lone extra-base hit.
