Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Idle Tuesday
Nunez isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Nunez's playing time has begun to dwindle as he's collected just three hits in 39 at-bats across his last 15 games. He'll now miss out on the starting nine for the third time in four games while CJ Abrams starts at shortstop and Jorbit Vivas mans second base.

Nationals' Nasim Nunez: Sitting for third time in six games
Nunez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.
Since the start of August, Nunez has produced a lowly .112/.171/.122 slash line over 31 games, and his playing time has begun to take a hit as a result. He'll take a seat for the third time in six contests while the Nationals go with Jorbit Vivas and CJ Abrams as their starters in the middle infield. Though Nunez continues to lead the majors with 45 stolen bases, fantasy managers could have difficulty extracting much value from him if he fades into more of a part-time role down the stretch.
