Sitting against another RHP
Wiemer is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analisi
On the bench for the third time in four matchups versus a righty starter (Andre Pallante), the right-handed-hitting Wiemer appears as though he'll have to settle for a more of a part-time role against right-handed pitching. Wiemer is still maintaining a sizzling .476/.577/.857 slash line over 26 plate appearances on the season, but he's been much more effective against lefties (2.092 OPS) than righties (.825 OPS).

Sitting again Saturday
Wiemer isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Mark Zuckerman of NatsJournal.com reports.
Analisi
Despite opening the season white-hot at the plate, Wiemer will retreat to the bench for a second consecutive game while Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and James Wood start across the outfield for Washington.

Taking seat Friday
Wiemer is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.
Analisi
The scorching-hot Wiemer will get a day off after starting each of the previous four contests. Daylen Lile, Jacob Young and James Wood will form the Nationals' outfield trio in the team's home opener.

On base three more times
Wiemer went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Wednesday's extra-inning loss to the Phillies.
Analisi
The 27-year-old continued his blistering start to the season. Wiemer has started five of the Nationals' first six games and racked up a .588/.682/1.059 slash line in 22 plate appearances with a triple, two homers, four RBI, seven runs and a 5:4 BB:K. Nothing in Wiemer's track record suggests he'll keep up anything close to that pace -- he sports a career 29.2 percent strikeout rate against an 8.6 percent walk rate in the majors -- but he's providing exceptional production so far for deep-league fantasy GMs who took a chance on him.
