Mead isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Mead will get a chance to catch his breath after beginning the second half by going 4-for-6 with three doubles, three RBI and four runs scored during Friday's 23-4 rout. Jorbit Vivas will pick up a start at third base as a result and bat eighth.
