Alex Call absent for Nationals again Wednesday afternoon

Washington Nationals outfielder Alex Call is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Bryce Elder and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Call remains out for a second straight game. The Nationals will start Josh Palacios, Victor Robles, and Lane Thomas across the outfield on Wednesday afternoon.

Palacios has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday and numberFire’s models project him for the lowest output among all hitters at 4.6 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals’ implied total (3.36) is tied for fifth-lowest in the majors today.
