Dickerson will be on the bench against Atlanta lefty Jared Shuster on Saturday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson has started just once against a lefty this season, and that was an opener, so it's no surprise to see him on the bench here. The veteran is hitting a respectable .260/.309/.440 with two homers in 18 games this season. Stone Garrett starts in left field in his absence.

Dickerson is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

EDGE Analysis

Stone Garrett, Alex Call and Lane Thomas will start across the outfield for the Nationals with the Diamondbacks throwing left-hander Tommy Henry. Dickerson has posted an overall .840 OPS when healthy this year, but he'll probably continue to sit against most lefties.

Dickerson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson remains in the strong side of a platoon with Stone Garrett. With lefty Daniel Lynch starting for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Dickerson will give way to Garrett in left field.

Dickerson went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's 12-10 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

His sixth-inning blast chased Jordan Lyles from the game as part of an eight-run eruption in the frame. It was Dickerson's second homer of the year, both of which have come in seven games since he returned from the IL -- a stretch in which he's batting .350 (7-for-20) with seven RBI.

Dickerson is out of the lineup again Thursday versus the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

Washington is facing another lefty in Blake Snell, so Stone Garrett will get the start in left field and Joey Meneses will serve as the DH. Dickerson has a career .697 OPS versus southpaws.

Dickerson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

As per usual, the lefty-hitting Dickerson finds himself on the bench with a southpaw (Ryan Weathers) taking the hill for the opposition. The righty-hitting Stone Garrett will pick up the start in left field while Dickerson sits following a 1-for-4 effort in Tuesday's 7-4 loss.

Dickerson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dickerson is 4-for-15 with a double, a home run, three RBI and three runs in six games since being reinstated from the injured list, and he'll take a seat Sunday with southpaw Joey Wentz pitching for Detroit. Stone Garrett will man left field for Washington in the series finale.

Dickerson is out of the lineup Friday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Joey Meneses is back from paternity leave and serving as the Nationals' designated hitter with left-hander Matthew Boyd set to toe the slab for Detroit. Stone Garrett is in left field. Dickerson will probably continue to sit versus most southpaws moving forward.

Dickerson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

In his first game since coming off the IL, Dickerson took the second pitch he saw from Edward Cabrera (finger) and ripped it over the right-field wall for his first homer of 2023, giving the Nats an early lead. The 33-year-old outfielder has missed most of the season to date with a calf strain, but now that he's healthy Dickerson will settle in as the regular left fielder against right-handed pitching, with Stone Garrett as his current platoon partner. Even discounting his days as a Rockie, Dickerson has a career .276/.318/.465 slash line against righties.
