Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon was not in the team's starting lineup Wednesday against the Reds.
Rendon received a normal day of rest. Kevin Frandsen got the start at third in his place. Rendon has slumped badly in May, and it may just be a mental day off for the 23-year-old. Rendon is hitting .267/.315/.444 in 180 at-bats.
