Werth will hit second in the Nationals' batting order in Tuesday's game against the Mets, CSN's Mark Zuckerman reports.

EDGE Analysis

Werth has hit only in the fifth and sixth spots in the order this season, but manager Dusty Baker will use him in the two hole Tuesday with Anthony Rendon being bumped down to sixth. It's not clear how long this arrangement will last, but moving up in the order will improve Werth's chances of getting more at-bats, at least for a night.
