Andrew Stevenson - Back to reserve role Stevenson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Josh Rogers - Handed first loss Rogers (2-1) allowed three runs on seven hits and four walks over 4.2 innings Sunday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Reds.
Impact Rogers looked solid through four scoreless frames, working out of jams in the second and fourth innings unscathed. He then served up back-to-back homers Stephenson and Nick Castellanos in the fifth. The 27-year-old southpaw had allowed just three runs over 19.1 innings (1.40 ERA) over his previous three outings. Rogers will carry a 2.73 ERA into his projected start at home against Boston next weekend.

Erick Fedde - Lasts 4.2 innings in no-decision Fedde didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the White Sox after allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks across 4.2 innings, fanning one. He also hit a batter.
Impact Fedde was just one out away from completing five frames, something he'd done in each of his previous three outings. However, the results have been far from encouraging since he has given up four or more earned runs in three of his last five appearances. The 28-year-old owns a 6.08 ERA across five appearances this month.

Patrick Murphy - Takes loss in relief Murphy (0-3) was tagged with the loss in relief Saturday against the Reds after allowing one run on one hit across 1.1 innings, fanning two.
Impact Murphy gave up a walkoff homer to Nick Castellanos and that was enough to be tagged with his third loss of the campaign. His numbers have not been very consistent, however, and he owns a 5.68 ERA across 22 appearances on the current season.

Keibert Ruiz - Not in Sunday's lineup Ruiz is out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Ruiz started the past three games and will receive a maintenance day for Sunday's afternoon contest. The 23-year-old backstop is 17-for-39 with two homers, three doubles, 12 RBI and seven runs in his past 10 games, and he should continue to operate as Washington's primary catcher for the final week of the regular season. Riley Adams will start behind the plate in his place Sunday.

Carter Kieboom - Rejoins lineup Sunday Kieboom (forearm) is in the lineup for Sunday's game at Cincinnati, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Kieboom didn't start the past two games while dealing with a left forearm injury, but it was apparently a minor concern as he's back in the lineup for the series finale. The 24-year-old has struggled through 21 games in September with a .167/.244/.179 slash line, and he'll attempt to finish with a strong final week of the season now that he's healthy enough to play.

Yadiel Hernandez - Not in starting nine Hernandez will not start Saturday's game against the Reds.
