Sitting out again MondayKieboom is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
ImpactKieboom is on the bench for the third time in four games to begin the season, but it's worth noting that he's been nursing a groin issue that has rendered him unable to play the field for now. The rookie is still available to serve as a designated hitter, but because the Nationals prefer to use Howie Kendrick in that capacity, at-bats have been hard to come by for Kieboom. At least until the Nationals are more comfortable with Kieboom's health, Asdrubal Cabrera looks primed to serve as the team's top option at the hot corner.

Heavier workload to begin yearSuzuki will start behind the dish Monday against the Blue Jays and will bat seventh.
ImpactSuzuki will pick up his third start in four games to begin the season, but the Nationals are still expected to distribute the catching work fairly evenly between the 36-year-old and Yan Gomes this season. Of the two, Suzuki profiles as the more interesting fantasy option of the two, while Gomes is the superior defensive backstop. Suzuki has submitted wRC+ marks north of 100 in each of the past three seasons, slashing .272/.335/.485 overall during that stretch.
