Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters is out of the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies.
Wieters has dealt with some back tightness recently, so it's likely just a routine day off. Backup catcher Raudy Read will make his first major league start and bat eighth.
For the rest of the year, numberFire projects Wieters to bat .246 with 1 home run, 7 runs, and 7 RBIs over 64 plate appearances.
