Rendon is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon will be rewarded with what appears to be a regular day off after the Nationals a clinched a spot in the playoffs Tuesday. The veteran third baseman is hitting just .182 over his past 10 games, though he owns an impressive 10:3 BB:K over that stretch. Asdrubal Cabrera is covering the hot corner in his place, with Brian Dozier starting at second base.

Rendon went 0-for-3 with three walks, a stolen base and a run scored Saturday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon didn't reach base with a hit, but was productive nevertheless with three walks and also providing his fourth stolen base of the season. Despite a three-game hitless streak, Rendon is still hitting an incredibly impressive .326/.412/.613 across 139 games this season.

Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

His sixth-inning shot tied the score at 2-2, but the Nats couldn't muster any more offense after that. Rendon is slashing .321/.438/.604 through 15 games in September as he tries to keep his team in the wild-card picture, and on the season he's hitting .333 with 34 homers and 119 RBI -- all career highs -- as he steams towards a huge payday in free agency.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, three RBI, two runs scored and a pair of walks to help the Nationals to a 12-6 win over the Twins on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

It was another huge day at the dish for the star third baseman, who reached base in four out of his five plate appearances and hit his 33rd long ball of the season with a first-inning solo shot off Kyle Gibson. Rendon has been swinging a sizzling bat all season, slashing a ridiculous .335/.418/.631 in 131 games.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs Sunday in the Nationals' 9-3 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon is currently enjoying one of his hottest offensive stretches of the season, as he'll enter Monday's series opener versus the Mets with four consecutive multi-hit performances on his ledger. The third baseman -- who will bat third Monday -- will also carry a 17-game on-base streak into the contest. During that stretch, Rendon has slashed .449/.512/.855 with seven home runs, 18 runs and 21 RBI.

Rendon went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and three runs scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI, a walk and a run scored Friday against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon plated a run in the first inning on a single to center, and he won the game in the bottom of the ninth with a single to left field. The 29-year-old continues to put together a strong 2019 campaign, slashing .333/.412/.619 with 29 home runs and 107 RBI over 119 games.

Rendon went 4-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's 7-5 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Rendon went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a 7-1 victory against the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

In his last three games against the Pirates, Rendon raked, going 7-for-12 (.583) with two extra-base hits and four RBI. The Pirates are hardly the only team he's crushed, though, as Rendon is batting .354 with 10 extra-base hits this month. Rendon has already hit a career high in home runs and reached a new best in RBI with the solo shot Thursday; he is on pace to do the same in the runs and average categories too. He is batting .324 with 28 home runs, 101 RBI, 91 runs and three steals in 432 at-bats this season.

Rendon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's win over the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old is putting together an impressive August, slashing .323/.353/.581 through 15 games with four long balls and 17 RBI. The surge has already given Rendon a new career high with 27 homers, and he's only three RBI short of hitting the century mark in that category for the second time.
