Brewers shortstop Jean Segura's batting average fell to below .300 for the first time all season Tuesday. Despite that, manager Ron Roenicke told MLB.com he is not planning to give the 23-year-old extended time off down the stretch, assuming Segura is not nursing an injury.

"If I feel like he's fighting through it, then he's not going to play as much, but when I have conversations with him, he still says he's fine," Roenicke said. "I think that we've got a better chance of winning when he's out there."

Segura entered play Wednesday with a .299 batting average, down from a high of .354 in May. Teammate Aramis Ramirez told reporters he thinks Segura is dealing with fatigue, as he is nearing a career high in games played as a professional.

"He looks a little tired right now," Ramirez said. "He's played a lot. He's only 23, but I'm sure he's pretty tired. He's had a lot of at-bats in a year. I never did winter ball like he did and got as many at-bats as he has."

Nationals second baseman Anthony Rendon was out of the lineup for the third time in six games and the seventh time in 18 games Tuesday at the Mets. Stephen Lombardozzi started in his place. Rendon hasn't played more than three games in a row since playing eight in a row Aug. 13-20.

His recent lack of production might have something to do with it. The rookie is batting .213 with a .604 OPS in 150 at-bats since the All-Star break after batting .301 with an .812 OPS in 163 at-bats before it.
