EDGE Analysis

He was out of the starting lineup again after suffering knee soreness earlier in the week, but he came on to belt his 14th homer as the Nationals posted a walk-off win. He underwent an MRI earlier in the day that reportedly came back clean, so he will likely return to the lineup soon. With Denard Span out for the rest of the season, and Washington locked in a playoff race, his presence in the lineup is of critical importance.
