Victor Robles (hand) absent from Nationals' lineup Thursday
Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (hand) is not starting in Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander David Peterson and the New York Mets.
What It Means:
Robles was hit in the hand by a pitch on Wednesday night. X-rays came back negative and Nationals manager Davey Martinez said Thursday's absence has more to do with getting Robles some rest. Michael Taylor will start in center field instead and hit ninth.
Per FanDuel Sportsbook, the Nationals are +116 underdogs on Thursday.
