Rendon has been dropped from second to sixth in the Nationals' batting order for Tuesday's game against the Mets, CSN's Mark Zuckerman reports.
Rendon has hit almost exclusively in the two hole for the Nationals this year, but he is still struggling to get much going with the bat, so manager Dusty Baker decided to swap him and Jayson Werth in the order for at least a night. Rendon will have a tough task Tuesday facing Mets ace Noah Syndergaard, but for what it's worth, he does have three hits in seven career at-bats against him.
