Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Nationals' Luis Garcia: Idle against southpaw
Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
The left-handed-hitting Garcia was included in the lineup for Wednesday's 11-2 loss to the Yankees while New York sent southpaw Max Fried to the hill, but the infielder will hit the bench Sunday versus Rays lefty Ian Seymour.

Reds' Matt McLain: Belts homer in loss
McLain went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.
McLain's seventh-inning home run brought the Reds within a run, but they couldn't complete the comeback. The homer was his 12th of the season, but his first since July 18 and just his fifth extra-base hit in the second half. August hasn't been kind to McLain, who has a .219/.254/.281 slash line over 21 games this month.
