Donaldson is not in the lineup Saturday against the Rockies.

Donaldson hasn't been handled cautiously after his injury-plagued 2018 campaign, as Saturday's off day is just his third of the season. Johan Camargo will get the start at third base.

Segura (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list as expected Saturday.

Segura wound up missing the minimum 10 days with a hamstring strain. He'll resume his everyday shortstop job and will look to build on his .328/.384/.478 line now that he's back on the field. Outfielder Dylan Cozens was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

Kieboom went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Padres.

The rookie was the center of attention in his big-league debut, taking Craig Stammen deep to lead off the eighth inning and tie things up at 3-3 but then striking out with the bases loaded in the ninth against San Diego closer Kirby Yates to end the ballgame. Kieboom was tearing up Triple-A prior to his promotion, hitting .379 with three homers in 18 games, but he struck out 20 times. The 21-year-old could struggle to make consistent contact in the majors at this stage of his development.

Rendon is not in Saturday's lineup against the Padres.

Rendon returned Friday after missing almost a week with an elbow contusion, and it seems the Nationals will cautiously elect to sit him in the day game following the night game. Howie Kendrick will start at third base and hit third.

Moncada went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Friday's win over the Tigers.

Moncada drove home a pair in the fifth inning on a single to left, cutting Chicago's deficit to five runs. Despite going 0-for-4 in Wednesday's contest, Moncada has secured a base knock in five of his past six matchups, raising his batting average to .323 through 24 games in 2019.

Arenado went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two RBI and two runs scored Friday against the Braves.

Arenado slugged a solo homer to left in the fourth inning and gave his team a 3-2 lead in the sixth with an RBI double to right. The 28-year-old slugger has been heating up at the dish of late, securing multi-hit performances in four of his past five matchups.

Wisdom was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.

Wisdom collected to base hits over four games during his latest big-league stint. In a corresponding move, Wei-Chieh Huang was recalled from Triple-A.
