Matt Wieters

Matt Wieters is out on Saturday for Nationals

Washington Nationals catcher Matt Wieters is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Wieters was behind the plate on Friday night, but in the day game following the night contest, Wieters gets the day off, while Pedro Severino is starting at catcher and hitting eighth against lefty Rich Hill.

Our models project Wieters for a .256 batting average, with 1 home run, 5 RBI, and 5 runs scored over 48 plate appearances remaining this season.
