José Tena: Breaking News

Three hits in Friday's loss

Tena went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's loss to the Giants. The utility infielder got the start at designated hitter and hit eighth, putting together his first multi-hit performance in April. Tena has seen most of his action to begin the season at DH and has been used exclusively against right-handed pitchers, and while he's hit .355 (11-for-31) in that role, he has zero homers or steals, and that batting average is inflated by a .478 BABIP.

Playing time trending down

Tena is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates. Tena has started in just one of the Nationals' last six games, sitting on three occasions against left-handed starters and twice against righties. The 25-year-old has posted a modest .665 OPS over 28 plate appearances on the season and may have to settle for more of a part-time role if Washington elects to open up playing time for Jorbit Vivas (.814 OPS in 40 plate appearances).

Getting day off vs. righty

Tena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers. The left-handed-hitting Tena was withheld from the lineup in three of the previous four games while the Nationals faced three lefty starters, but he'll remain on the bench Sunday against a righty (Brandon Woodruff). Tena had started in each of the Nationals' prior three matchups with righties, but he'll end up ceding his spot in the lineup to Jorbit Vivas in the series finale in Milwaukee.
