Matt Wieters

Nationals' Matt Wieters is out of the lineup on Saturday

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters is out of the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Wieters has dealt with some back tightness recently, so it's likely just a routine day off. Backup catcher Raudy Read will make his first major league start and bat eighth.

For the rest of the year, numberFire projects Wieters to bat .246 with 1 home run, 7 runs, and 7 RBIs over 64 plate appearances.
