Hassell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Hassell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
With southpaw Sean Manaea starting for the Mets, Hassell will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Right-hander Clay Holmes is expected to piggyback Manaea at some point during the contest, so Hassell could be a candidate to replace center fielder Jacob Young once Holmes takes over.

Hassell will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Hassell has now started four of the Nationals' last six games, with one of his absences during that stretch coming against a left-handed pitcher. With an .885 OPS since being called up from Triple-A Rochester on Aug. 1, Hassell has earned a regular spot in the rotation as Washington finds playing time for five young outfielders -- Hassell, James Wood, Dylan Crews, Daylen Lile and Jacob Young -- between the three defensive assignments and DH.

Hassell went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Saturday's 8-2 loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
In a game that saw the Nationals limited to two hits (a season low), Hassell made his one knock count in the third inning, when he took Brandon Woodruff deep to right field. It was the first major-league homer of Hassell's career, and the 23-year-old has a .547 OPS with one steal and 10 RBI across 81 plate appearances this season. He should see regular playing time in the outfield as long as Dylan Crews (oblique) is sidelined.

Hassell went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Making his return to the majors Friday, Hassell wasn't in the starting nine but made a quick impact after pinch hitting for Jacob Young in the eighth inning. With Daylen Lile staying productive in right field, Hassell may have to settle for a bench role during his latest stint with the Nats, especially once Dylan Crews (oblique) gets healthy.
