Call is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Since turning in four two-hit performances in his first eight games of the season, Call has slashed just .111/.227/.111 over his ensuing eight contests. Call's downturn in productivity appears to have cost him an everyday role; he'll be on the bench for a fifth straight game while Jacob Young and Dylan Crews have both picked up the pace at the plate of late and have usurped him as regular options in the Washington outfield.

Call is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jacob Young is making the start in center field, with James Wood in left, Dylan Crews in right and Josh Bell serving as the designated hitter against Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller. Call is slashing an impressive .324/.457/.441 with three extra-base hits, seven RBI, six runs and a 10:2 BB:K across 46 plate appearances this season.

Call is starting in left field and batting sixth against the Marlins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Call was initially slated for a day off Friday, but he's been inserted into the Nationals' starting lineup due to Nathaniel Lowe (illness) being scratched. Across seven games, Call has gone 8-for-20 with five walks, one stolen base and five RBI.

Call is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Call will start in right field and bat second in Monday's game versus the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

It marks the fifth start over the last five games for Call and his highest placement in the batting order this season. He's earned the playing time by sporting a robust 1.279 OPS in the early going for the Nationals. With Call's emergence as a regular for Washington, Dylan Crews has become the team's primary center fielder and Jacob Young has been a reserve.

Call went 2-for-2 with a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Call delivered RBI singles in the first and fourth innings and also swiped his first bag of the season. The 30-year-old has gone 4-for-8 in three starts to open the year but is strictly a bench option for the Nationals at the moment.

Call is expected to begin the season as the Nationals' fourth outfielder, Jessica Camerato of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old may not see much work however, with Dylan Crews, Jacob Young and James Wood entrenched in the starting lineup and all 25 years of age or younger. Call solidified his spot on the Opening Day roster by batting .333 (13-for-39) this spring with 12 walks against only five strikeouts, but his .231/.332/.364 career slash line in the majors better reflects his lack of fantasy upside should he find himself getting consistent playing time.
