Kendrick is out of the lineup for Monday's matchup against the Phillies.

Kendrick is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, according to Dan Kolko of MASN Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick was the only Nationals regular to start Friday's game, so manager Dusty Baker decided he would give him a day off as well Saturday. Jayson Werth will slide over and cover left field Saturday with Kendrick on the bench.

Kendrick is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Braves, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick has started four of the last five games for Washington, going 5-for-15 (.333) with a homer over that stretch, but he'll get the day off as manager Dusty Baker gives top prospect Victor Robles a start in the outfield in his stead.

Kendrick went 2-for-4 with a homer and two runs Saturday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick blasted his eighth bomb of the campaign to put the Nationals on the board in the first inning of the game they'd eventually lose. After a slow start to the month, he's collected multiple hits in each of the last two contests, which hopefully will get the .332 hitter back on track.

Kendrick is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's been a slow start to September for Kendrick, who has just two hits in 18 at-bats this month (.111 batting average), so he'll get the day off after starting five of the last six games. In his place, Alejandro De Aza will start in left field against righty Aaron Nola.

Kendrick is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Marlins, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick has been getting fairly regular playing time in left field since joining the Nationals, but he will sit with righty Odrisamer Despaigne on the hill for Miami. Alejandro De Aza will start in left field and hit second.

Kendrick is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Marlins, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The return of Trea Turner (wrist) from the 60-day disabled list Tuesday looks like it could force manager Dusty Baker into some tough lineup decisions over the remainder of the season, as Kendrick and his .343 batting average will hit the bench for the second time in three games. With Turner reclaiming his everyday role at shortstop, Wilmer Difo will vie with Kendrick, Adam Lind, Alejandro De Aza, Michael Taylor and Jayson Werth for starts in the outfield on a game-by-game basis, which could translate to fewer at-bats for everybody. The playing time picture will grow even murkier later in September, when Bryce Harper (knee) is expected to come off the 10-day DL.

Kendrick went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Jayson Werth's return to action from a toe injury might have spelled the end of Kendrick's run in the Nats starting lineup, but instead Werth will man right field for now until Bryce Harper (knee) gets healthy, leaving left field available for the red hot Kendrick and his .340/.390/.679 line over his last 15 games.

Kendrick is out of Sunday's lineup against the Padres, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is red hot at the plate, hitting .333 with four home runs over his last 24 at-bats, but will take a rare seat during the day game. Adam Lind and Alejandro De Aza will patrol the corner outfield spots.
