Lind will start at first base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Marlins, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals are giving three of their key bats (Ryan Zimmerman, Daniel Murphy and Matt Wieters) a day off for rest in the series finale, so in addition to replacing Zimmerman in the field, Lind will benefit from a prominent spot in the lineup thanks to the absences. Despite not seeing regular starts for an extended period at any point this season, Lind has been deadly in a part-time role, batting .348 with six home runs and 26 RBI in just 106 plate appearances.
