Remains out of lineup Stevenson isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

Takes seat Sunday Stevenson is not in the lineup for Sunday's contest against the Mets.

Impact Stevenson has served as the team's primary right fielder in the absence of Juan Soto (shoulder). He's collected three hits in 16 plate appearances across his past four games but will head to the bench in favor of Yadiel Hernandez for the series finale.

Hits leadoff Wednesday Stevenson got the start in right field and hit leadoff during Wednesday's win over the Cardinals, going 0-for-4 with a strikeout.

Impact Victor Robles has been dropped down to the bottom of the order, and with Juan Soto (shoulder) on the shelf, Nats manager Dave Martinez has moved Trea Turner to the No. 3 spot and is giving Stevenson a look at the top of the lineup. The shuffle didn't exactly spark the offense -- the team escaped with a 1-0 victory thanks to Max Scherzer and the bullpen -- but if Stevenson continues to get looks as the leadoff hitter, he could have some DFS appeal until Soto returns. He'll need to get his bat going first, as Stevenson has a .219/.278/.344 slash line through 36 plate appearances.

Late lineup addition Tuesday Stevenson will bat leadoff and start in center field Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Impact The 26-year-old was originally slated to come off the bench for Tuesday's contest, but he was a late addition to the starting nine with Juan Soto scratched and placed on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder strain. Stevenson should see increased playing at least through the end of the month, when Soto is eligible to be activated.

Pops first homer Stevenson entered Monday's win over the Cardinals as a pinch hitter and launched a solo home run off Giovanny Gallegos in the seventh inning.

Impact With Kyle Schwarber now in the lineup, Stevenson will serve as the Nats' fourth outfielder, but he quickly showed he was ready for that role by hitting his first homer of the year. The 26-year-old could have some DFS utility on days when he's giving one of the team's starting outfielders a rest.

Out of Saturday's lineup Stevenson is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

Opens season in starting role Stevenson will start in left field and bat seventh in Tuesday's season opener versus Atlanta.

Impact Stevenson had been expected to open the season as Washington's fourth outfielder, but Kyle Schwarber's placement on the COVID-19 injured list should pave the way for the 26-year-old to fill an everyday role for at least the first week of the campaign. The lefty-hitting Stevenson will bat in the bottom third of the lineup with southpaw Drew Smyly on the bump for Atlanta, but he could climb higher in the batting order versus right-handed pitching.

Appears to be lock for roster spot Stevenson appears set as the Nationals' fourth outfielder to begin the season, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Impact The 26-year-old has made the most of his limited opportunities in the majors over the past two years, slashing .366/.464/.620 over 84 plate appearances. Stevenson offers a good glove, some speed and solid contact ability, and the 2015 second-round pick could have deep-league value if an injury were to push him into the starting lineup.

Drives in three runs Stevenson went 2-for-4 with two doubles, three RBI, three runs scored and two walks in Sunday's 15-5 win over the Mets.

Impact Stevenson doubled in a pair of runs in the second inning and later drew an RBI walk in the third. The 26-year-old had only 47 plate appearances this season, but he made the most of them. Stevenson finished the 2020 campaign with a .366/.447/.732 slash line, 12 RBI and 10 extra-base hits.

Rare power display Saturday Stevenson went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs during a 4-3 win over the Mets in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact The 26-year-old came into Saturday with only one career home run in 136 big-league games, but Stevenson took Jacob deGrom to deep right-center field in the third inning for his first long ball of the season. He then got credit for an inside-the-park homer in the fifth when Dominic Smith crashed into the wall trying to corral his drive into the left-field corner. After a 1-for-4 showing in the nightcap, Stevenson has hit safely in 11 straight games, slashing a blistering .406/.457/.813 during that stretch with five doubles and a tripe in addition to Saturday's home runs.

Heads to bench Thursday Stevenson is not in Thursday's lineup against the Mets.

Impact He is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak and is hitting .375 with zero home runs and one steal in 24 at-bats over that stretch. Michael Taylor gets the start in left field and will hit seventh.

Leading off in fourth straight Stevenson will start in left field and will lead off Wednesday against the Phillies.

Impact Not only has Stevenson emerged as an everyday option in the corner outfield since Adam Eaton (finger) landed on the injured list last week, but the former has also emerged as the Nationals' primary table setter. Stevenson sits atop the lineup for the fourth game in a row, and he'll be looking to extend his hitting streak to eight games. He went 8-for-20 with three doubles, two walks, seven RBI, four runs and a stolen base over the previous seven contests.
