The return of Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper has pushed Anthony Rendon down in the lineup.
With Harper back, Jayson Werth moves to the two-spot. Rendon has been pushed down to seventh against Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo. Rendon has also been mired in an 0-for-17 slump, which may have prompted the move.
Rendon is hitting .310/.360/.431 in 116 at-bats.
