Call is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Call went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Call launched a solo shot in the fifth inning of Saturday's contest. It was his fourth homer of the season and his third this month. The outfielder had gone hitless in his last five appearances, but he is still slashing .275/.310/.575 for the month. His season batting average now sits at .213 after he started this month with a .154 average.

Call will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Call started each of the past five games in left field, but he'll slide over to center Wednesday while Lane Thomas is manning right field and while Victor Robles (neck) remains day-to-day with an injury. Over the last five contests, Call went 7-for-20 with three extra-base hits and a walk. Call appears set to get a look as a regular in the Washington outfield while utility man Cesar Hernandez picks up more work in the infield.

Call went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
He chased Noah Syndergaard from the game in the top of the seventh inning with his third homer of the year. Call has two home runs and seven hits in the last two games and is batting .556 (10-for-18) in September as he tries to prove he deserves a place in the Nationals' plans for 2023.

Call went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 11-6 victory over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Call had a game to remember as he recorded his first career multi-hit game, exploding for four hits, including two for extra bases. His five RBI were also a career high as he powered the Nationals' offense Thursday. The double was Call's first of the season, and the long ball his second. The big day at the plate bodes well for the rookie's case for increased playing time down the stretch.

Call is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Call had started each of the last four games in left field while batting first or second in the lineup and went a collective 2-for-14 with a home run, a stolen base and two walks over that stretch. The Nationals will have an opening in the lineup in left field while Yadiel Hernandez (calf) is on the injured list, but the righty-hitting Call may be limited to a short-side platoon role. Three of his last four starts came against southpaws.

Call went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Included in the lineup for the fourth time in five games, Call was able to log his first major-league steal Sunday. He's seen some more prominent usage lately, and there's a chance the playing time sticks as long as Yadiel Hernandez (calf) is out of action. Call is slashing .152/.263/.242 with one home run, two RBI, five runs scored and a steal through 38 plate appearances between the Nationals and the Guardians.

Call will bat in the leadoff spot as the starting left fielder Saturday against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
After getting a hit in back-to-back appearances, including a homer Friday, Call will set the table for the Nationals on Saturday. He is slashing only .154/.214/.385 since being recalled from Triple-A Rochester last Sunday, but Call could get boost in playing time with Yadiel Hernandez (calf) landing on the IL.
