Stevenson will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Reds, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Making his fifth start in center in the last six games, Stevenson has emerged as the primary replacement at the position for Victor Robles (ankle), who was moved to the 10-day injured list Sunday. Stevenson boasts a .260 career average in the majors, but a paucity of power and speed and his low placement in the lineup will make it difficult to mine fantasy value from him while he's filling in for Robles.

Stevenson went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and three total runs scored in a 17-2 rout of Arizona on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson didn't start the game, instead coming on as a pinch runner with Washington staked to a 10-run lead in the fifth inning. The 26-year-old still saw three plate appearances in the contest as the Nationals poured on 17 total runs. With outfielder David Peralta on the mound for Arizona in the ninth, Stevenson crushed a 440-foot shot to right field to plate three runs. He has been picking up steam of late, going 6-for-16 with the home run, three doubles and seven RBI over his past four games.

Stevenson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson had initially served as the primary right fielder with Juan Soto (shoulder) sidelined, but he'll be out of the lineup for a third consecutive game. Hernan Perez will start in right field and bat seventh.

Stevenson is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson has served as the team's primary right fielder in the absence of Juan Soto (shoulder). He's collected three hits in 16 plate appearances across his past four games but will head to the bench in favor of Yadiel Hernandez for the series finale.

Stevenson got the start in right field and hit leadoff during Wednesday's win over the Cardinals, going 0-for-4 with a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Victor Robles has been dropped down to the bottom of the order, and with Juan Soto (shoulder) on the shelf, Nats manager Dave Martinez has moved Trea Turner to the No. 3 spot and is giving Stevenson a look at the top of the lineup. The shuffle didn't exactly spark the offense -- the team escaped with a 1-0 victory thanks to Max Scherzer and the bullpen -- but if Stevenson continues to get looks as the leadoff hitter, he could have some DFS appeal until Soto returns. He'll need to get his bat going first, as Stevenson has a .219/.278/.344 slash line through 36 plate appearances.

Stevenson will bat leadoff and start in center field Tuesday against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old was originally slated to come off the bench for Tuesday's contest, but he was a late addition to the starting nine with Juan Soto scratched and placed on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder strain. Stevenson should see increased playing at least through the end of the month, when Soto is eligible to be activated.

Stevenson entered Monday's win over the Cardinals as a pinch hitter and launched a solo home run off Giovanny Gallegos in the seventh inning.

EDGE Analysis

With Kyle Schwarber now in the lineup, Stevenson will serve as the Nats' fourth outfielder, but he quickly showed he was ready for that role by hitting his first homer of the year. The 26-year-old could have some DFS utility on days when he's giving one of the team's starting outfielders a rest.

Stevenson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old started in left field the first four games of the season, but he'll head to the bench after going 2-for-14 with one run, two RBI and four strikeouts. Hernan Perez will start in left field Saturday for Washington.

Stevenson will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's season opener versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Stevenson had been expected to open the season as Washington's fourth outfielder, but Kyle Schwarber's placement on the COVID-19 injured list should pave the way for the 26-year-old to fill an everyday role for at least the first week of the campaign. The lefty-hitting Stevenson will bat in the bottom third of the lineup with southpaw Drew Smyly on the bump for Atlanta, but he could climb higher in the batting order versus right-handed pitching.

Stevenson appears set as the Nationals' fourth outfielder to begin the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old has made the most of his limited opportunities in the majors over the past two years, slashing .366/.464/.620 over 84 plate appearances. Stevenson offers a good glove, some speed and solid contact ability, and the 2015 second-round pick could have deep-league value if an injury were to push him into the starting lineup.
