Rendon is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Braves, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.
This will be his third game off in the last 12 contests, as the Nationals appear to be looking to keep Rendon fresh and healthy. He is also hitting just .172 over that stretch, so it's not like he is making a case to be treated like an iron man. Stephen Drew will start at the hot corner and hit sixth.
