Washington Nationals outfielder Brian Goodwin is starting in left field and batting second against the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.
Goodwin is filling in for Jayson Werth (foot), who fouled a ball off his foot Saturday and could barely run down to first before he was pulled from the game. When he started on Friday, Goodwin went 4-for-5 with a triple and a two-run home run.
In 34 plate appearances since his promotion from Triple-A, Goodwin has gone .303/.324/.545 with 1 home run, 3 runs, 5 RBI's, and 1 stolen base.
