Washington Nationals outfielder Ben Revere has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right oblique strain.
Revere tweaked his oblique in the fourth inning of Monday's contest with the Atlanta Braves. He was omitted from Wednesday's lineup and the Nationals placed him on the 15-day DL later in the day. Michael Taylor will earn the center field start in his place on Wednesday, while Matt den Dekker was called up from Triple-A to take the open roster spot. There is no current timetable for Revere's return.
Revere slashed .306/.342/.377 last season in 152 games with the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays. He also posted a .316 wOBA with 31 stolen bases. We currently project Revere to slash .292/.336/.365 with 30 steals in 2016, pending the severity of his injury. Taylor -- who slashed .453/.491/.849 in 53 at-bats in spring training -- should remain in the lineup with Revere out.
