On bench Sunday
Vivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analyse
The left-handed hitter had started six of the Nationals' last seven games, seeing time at second base, third base and DH, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Giants. With a .780 OPS through 54 plate appearances, Vivas has put himself in consideration for regular duty against right-handed pitching, but Jose Tena (.811 OPS in 36 plate appearances) is also competing for the same playing time.

Playing time on upswing
Vivas will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.
Analyse
Vivas will stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game, this time shifting over to the keystone after manning third base in each of the previous three contests. While the left-handed hitter's playing time against left-handed pitching is likely to remain limited, he might have earned himself more frequent opportunities versus righties after getting on base at a .406 clip in 33 plate appearances against them so far in 2026.
