Call is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Call had started each of the previous 12 games but will take a seat Tuesday. It's possible he will see a dip in playing time in favor of Daylen Lile, who was recalled Monday and will now draw a second straight start in right field.

Call will start in right field and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Call will be making his eighth consecutive start Thursday after going 7-for-20 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk over the previous seven contests. The return of Jacob Young from the injured list last Friday seemed as though it would put Call at risk of losing out on playing time, but Call has instead remained a fixture in the lineup against both righties and lefties, while Young has made all three of his starts versus southpaws over the Nationals' six games since he was activated. Call remains likely to see his role get downsized once Dylan Crews (oblique) is activated, though Crews' return doesn't seem to be imminent.

Call went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Starting in right field and batting leadoff with CJ Abrams getting a breather, Call took southpaw Jacob Latz (hand) deep in the fourth inning to get the Nationals on the board. Call has two homers on the season in 43 contests, and both came in the weekend series against Texas. The 30-year-old outfielder should continue to serve on the short side of a platoon with Robert Hassell in right field.

Call went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

In a tight 1-0 game, Call gave the Nationals a bit of breathing room when he drove a first-pitch slider from Patrick Corbin over the fence in left-center field to lead off the seventh inning. The long ball was Call's first of the season, and while he has started three straight games, all three have come against left-handed pitching. With Jacob Young back from the injured list Friday and reclaiming his starting spot in center field, Call could remain in his short-side platoon role in right field, with Robert Hassell handling duties against righties until Dylan Crews (oblique) gets healthy. Call seems better suited to that role -- the 30-year-old has an .840 OPS against LHP in 51 plate appearances this year, versus a .734 mark in 91 PAs against RHP.

Call is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

When Dylan Crews (oblique) and Jacob Young (shoulder) were placed on the injured list May 21 and 23, respectively, Call appeared to be in good position to move into an everyday role. Instead, Call has continued to serve as the Nationals' fourth outfielder, with prospects Robert Hassell and Daylen Lile getting regular playing time after being called up to replace the injured outfielders. Call will remain on the bench for the sixth time in as many games while the Nationals face off against another right-hander (Corbin Burnes), but he should spell either Hassell or Lile when Washington goes up against lefties.

Call will start in left field and bat fifth in Sunday's game against the Giants, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Call will pick up his fourth start in five games, with his outlook for playing time having improved with both Dylan Crews (oblique) and Jacob Young (shoulder) on the injured list. The Nationals called up two of their top outfield prospects in Robert Hassell and Daylen Lile to replace them, but Call should occupy a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching while still being in the mix against righties, too. The 30-year-old has held his own in matchups with same-handed pitching this season, slashing .254/.393/.373 (122 wRC+) in his 86 plate appearances versus righties.

Call will start in right field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Though Call still looks to be the Nationals' fourth outfielder, he's seen fairly steady playing time while manager Dave Martinez continues to dish out occasional days off for Dylan Crews, Jacob Young and Josh Bell. Crews will be the odd man out of the lineup Thursday, allowing Call to pick up his eighth start in 12 games.

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

After making starts in 11 of 12 games, Call finds himself on the bench for the second straight game. The 30-year-old has been productive early in 2025 with a .300/.415/.400 slash line and 10:3 BB:K through 54 plate appearances.

Call is not in the Nationals' starting lineup against the Rockies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Call will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Jacob Young starts in center field and bats eighth against Rockies right-hander Chase Dollander. Call has started the season slashing .300/.415/.400 with one stolen base, six runs scored and eight RBI in 54 plate appearances.
