6 years agoWashington Nationals shortstop Wilmer Difo is batting seventh while outfielder Victor Robles remains in the ninth spot in the lineup for Wednesday's afternoon game against the Philadelphia Phillies, as the 1-3 Nationals begin to deal with the ramifications of Trea Turner's broken right index finger. Turner's absence gave Washington a chance to move Robles, who is hitting .357/.357/.786 in the very early going, up in the batting order while hitting Difo ninth, but Robles will instead continue to miss out on plate appearances batting last. Difo, for his part, can be left on the wire in all but the deepest leagues. Elsewhere in the Washington lineup, Brian Dozier takes Turner's second spot in the order, and Ryan Zimmerman is back in the fifth hole as Matt Adams deals with back spasms. Phillies starter Aaron Nola was already a tough matchup for Wednesday's DFS purposes, so Nationals hitters should be avoided there.--Nathaniel Green
