Eddie Rosario - Gaining traction in regular lineupRosario will start in left field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Nationals, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ImpactHe's now picked up starts in each of Atlanta's last 13 matchups with right-handed pitchers, a firm indication that the lefty-hitting Rosario has settled back into the large side of a platoon in left field. The 31-year-old will take a six-game hitting streak into Wednesday's series finale.

Marcell Ozuna - Back on benchOzuna is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ImpactOzuna went 2-for-7 with a home run, a double, a walk and two RBI while starting against right-handed pitchers the past two days, but he'll cede designated hitter duties to Robbie Grossman in the series finale. Atlanta will likely take a committee approach to the DH spot over the final week of the regular season, making it difficult to depend on Ozuna seeing consistent at-bats.

Orlando Arcia - Overtakes Grissom on depth chartArcia will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Nationals, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ImpactArcia appears to have taken over as Atlanta's primary option at the keystone, as he'll stick in the lineup against a right-handed pitcher for the third game in a row while slumping rookie Vaughn Grissom remains on the bench. After slugging home runs in both of the first two games in Washington, Arcia should continue to see steady run while he's wielding a hot bat.

William Contreras - Takes seat WednesdayContreras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ImpactContreras is getting a breather for the series finale after he caught the past two games while Travis d'Arnaud rested. Though Contreras often handles designated-hitter duties on days d'Arnaud catches, manager Brian Snitker will tab Robbie Grossman for the DH role Wednesday.

Vaughn Grissom - Loses grip on everyday roleGrissom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Washington, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.
ImpactFor the third game in a row, the rookie finds himself on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher, an indication that manager Brian Snitker views Grissom as a bench player. Orlando Arcia will pick up another start at the keystone at the expense of Grissom, who has slashed .163/.250/.163 with a 29.2 percent strikeout rate over his last 14 games.
