Nationals put Jayson Werth, Michael Taylor on the bench Thursday

Washington Nationals outifleder Michael Taylor is not in the Nationals' starting lineup Thursday against the Braves.

What It Means:

Jayson Werth is also getting the day off versus Braves right-hander Julio Teheran. Chris Heisey will start in left field and lead off, and Matt den Dekker will play center field and bat seventh.

Taylor is hitting just .138 (4-for-29) this season. We project him to post a .267 wOBA with 10 bombs and 10 steals. We have Werth projected for a .316 wOBA and 16 home runs this season.
