Nationals' Jose Tena: Heading to bench Sunday

Tena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Tena started five of the previous six games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while CJ Abrams gets a day off from playing shortstop as the designated hitter. While Washington may continue to hold him out against left-handed pitching, Tena should start versus right-handers more often than not, as he's maintained a .288/.338/.485 slash line (130 wRC+) over 71 plate appearances in that split this season.
