Howie Kendrick sitting Thursday for Nationals

Washington Nationals second baseman Howie Kendrick is out of Thursday's lineup versus the San Francisco Giants.

What It Means:

Kendrick went 2-for-3 with a tater in Wednesday's win over the Giants. Brian Dozier (toe) is on second base for the Nationals in Thursday's series finale.

Kendrick is slashing a sizzling .500/.577/1.100 with 3 home runs, 6 RBI, and 9 runs scored through just 26 plate appearances this season.
