Vivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants. 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 the final spot in the Nationals' regular lineup against right-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a part-time role with Jose Tena (.811 OPS in 36 plate appearances) having gotten off to a similarly strong start.

Playing time on upswing
Vivas will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Pirates. He'll 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-hitting Vivas' playing time against left-handed pitching is likely to remain more variable, he might have earned himself more frequent opportunities to start versus righties after getting on base at a .406 clip in 33 plate appearances against them so far in 2026.
Sticking in bench role
Vivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. After picking up starts in all three games of the Nationals' series versus the Dodgers over the weekend, Vivas has been on the bench for the entire three-game set versus the Cardinals. Despite posting a .934 OPS over 23 plate appearances to begin the season, Vivas looks like he'll have to settle for a utility role while Washington has all of its key infielders available.
