Lobaton got the start behind the plate in Tuesday's loss to the Dodgers and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and two runs scored.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was Lobaton's third of the year but he's hitting just .194/.301/.361 in 72 at-bats on the season. Nats manager Dusty Baker used Monday's off day to give Wilson Ramos an extra bit of rest, but Lobaton isn't likely to start seeing more than about one start a week unless Ramos falls into a major slump.
