Victor Robles, Brian Dozier Not Playing
6 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles and second baseman Brian Dozier are not in the starting lineup on Sunday. Michael A. Taylor is starting in center field and is batting ninth, while Howie Kendrick starts at the keystone for the second straight day and is hitting second against Pirates starter Jameson Taillon. Robles is just getting a breather, but Dozier could start losing more playing time if he continues to struggle at the dish (.163 average, one RBI in 43 at-bats). Kendrick doesn't have a ton of upside with the bat these days, but he did homer on Saturday and is a DFS sleeper in the two-hole. Taylor has an intriguing mix of power and speed, but the ceiling is low in daily leagues while hitting ninth.
