Anthony Rendon set to hit sixth in lineup

Nationals prospect Anthony Rendon is expected to be in the starting lineup Sunday against the Mets. The 22-year-old will likely be hitting sixth, according to the Washington Post.

General manager Mike Rizzo expects Rendon to return to the minors once Zimmerman comes off the disabled list. Zimmerman is expected to miss the minimum 15 days with a hamstring injury.

"I would think that when Zim comes back, we'll probably send [Rendon] down for more seasoning," Rizzo said. "But we'll take that as it comes. We see him as a long-term component of the team."
