Collects two RBI Stevenson went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a walk in a 7-3 loss to the Marlins on Saturday.
Impact Stevenson will step into a sizable opportunity with Adam Eaton (finger) on the shelf for the rest of the season. However, hitting towards the bottom of the order on a team that ranks in the bottom third of the league in runs scored likely won't generate a ton of fantasy appeal.

Impact Washington D.C. requires anyone who was exposed to COVID-19 to quarantine for 14 days, so he won't be able to play in either of these next two games against the Blue Jays. This weekend's series against the Marlins has been postponed, so that leaves next week's series against the Mets as his first opportunity to get back in the lineup. Michael Taylor and Andrew Stevenson will continue to get starts in his place in the meantime.

Not yet back in lineup Soto (illness) is not starting Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays despite clearing COVID-19 protocols.
Impact Soto is yet to be activated from the injured list and hasn't yet received clearance from Washington, D.C. government officials to rejoin the team, but his arrival appears imminent. Whether or not he'll be cleared in time to fill a bench role in this contest remains to be seen, but his season debut should come soon, barring any unanticipated snags. He reportedly remained asymptomatic despite testing positive for the virus, so he's presumably been able to stay in game shape or close to it. Andrew Stevenson starts in left field Wednesday.

Sitting in third straight Stevenson is out of the lineup Monday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Though Stevenson received the first chance to start in left field in place of Juan Soto (COVID-19) in the season opener last week, the 26-year-old has since moved back to the bench. Michael Taylor will draw a third consecutive start Monday and looks in line to serve as the club's top left fielder over Stevenson until Soto returns from the injured list.
