Kendrick went 5-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
He busted out in a big way after beginning his tenure with the Nats by going 2-for-10. The homer was just Kendrick's third of the season, but if he continues to hit in the two hole for manager Dusty Baker, the veteran should be able to put together more fantasy value than his 16 runs and 16 RBI in 39 games for the Phillies would suggest.

Kendrick is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Marlins, Jamal Collier of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick will get the day off after playing both games of Sunday's doubleheader, going just 1-for-9 at the plate. Adam Lind will start in left field in his place, though Kendrick should continue to serve as the primary left fielder for his new club until Jayson Werth (toe/foot) returns from the DL.

Kendrick (hand) is starting in left field and batting sixth during Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick has been dealing with a bruised hand recently but was able to provide a pinch-hit RBI double during Saturday's contest and will now draw his first start with his new N.L. East club. The 34-year-old owns a .345 average in 142 at-bats this season.

Kendrick (hand) was traded to the Nationals for left-handed starter McKenzie Mills on Friday, Matt Breen of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington had been looking into multiple solutions for their injury-plagued outfield and appear to have settled on the veteran Kendrick, who provides a solid defensive option and sharp hitter at the plate. The 34-year-old most likely assumes the role as the everyday left fielder for the Nationals, especially considering the unknown return date for regular starter Jayson Werth (toe). Kendrick, who is dealing with a minor hand bruise following an HBP earlier this week, is slashing .340/.397/.454 with the Phillies this season, though he has missed long periods of time due to hamstring and oblique injuries.

Kendrick (hand) is available off the bench for Friday's matchup with the Braves, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thanks to the strong play of the other Phillies' outfielders, manager Pete Mackanin had the luxury of being able to give Kendrick an extra day off, so he took the chance to do so. The veteran seems to be doing much better and could slot back into the lineup for Saturday's game, although he should still be considered day-to-day for now. Aaron Altherr will fill the vacancy in left field for the evening.

Kendrick (hand) is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Braves, Meghan Montemurro of The News Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick left Wednesday's game after he was in the left hand by a pitch and the Phillies were hoping he'd be good to go after Thursday's off day, but will remain on the bench for now. It's still unlikely the veteran outfielder lands on the disabled list as a result, so consider him day-to-day heading into the weekend. Aaron Altherr slides over left field, allowing Odubel Herrera to get the call in center.

X-rays on Kendrick's hand came back negative, Kevin Cooney of the Burlington County Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick suffered a bruised hand after being hit by a pitch Wednesday. The Phillies are off Thursday which might give him enough of a rest to get back into the lineup Friday.

Kendrick was removed from Wednesday's game against Houston after he was hit by a pitch in the wrist, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick tried to stay in but was eventually pulled. Luckily for Kendrick, the Phillies have an off day Thursday that will give him a chance for the swelling to die down. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Kendrick is expected to start Tuesday night, Jim Salisbury of CSN Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick was out of the lineup Monday, but did enter as a pinch hitter. Manager Pete Mackanin said the team is being cautious with Kendrick, who just came off the disabled list last Friday after recovering from a hamstring strain. The Phillies hope to trade Kendrick before next week's deadline.

Kendrick is not in the lineup Monday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Kendrick has four hits (all singles) in three games since returning from the DL, but he'll get a day off Monday as he presumably gets eased back into action. Cameron Perkins will man left field in his stead.
