Wilmer Difo sitting out Friday for Nationals

Washington Nationals second baseman/outfielder Wilmer Difo is not in the lineup on Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Daniel Murphy is returning to play second base after sitting out the last two games with a neck injury. This will send Difo back to the bench as the Nats take on lefty Alex Wood.

Our models project Difo for a .270 batting average, with 4 RBI and 6 runs scored over 40 plate appearances remaining this season.
