Jose Lobaton enters Nationals' lineup for Game 2
Washington Nationals catcher Jose Lobaton is starting behind the plate for the Nationals in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.
What It Means:
This move was expected after Pedro Severino started Game 1 behind the plate against the right-handed Clayton Kershaw. Other than that there are no changes to the Nationals' lineup from Game 1, as the switch-hitting Lobaton will bat eighth against left-handed Rich Hill.
Lobaton is not a great hitter from either side of the plate, but against lefties in his career he has just a .262 wOBA and a .588 OPS.
