Lind is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Angels, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After receiving playing time in left field over the last several games, Lind will take a seat against left-handed pitcher Tyler Skaggs of the Angels. In his place will be Howie Kendrick, who will bat leadoff.

Lind will start in left field and bat fifth in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday against the Giants, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lind has been deployed at first base or designated hitter for much of his career, but the Nationals will deploy him in left field for the fourth consecutive contest due to the team's extensive injuries in the outfield. With all of Adam Eaton (knee), Jayson Werth (toe), Ryan Raburn (back), Trea Turner (wrist) and Bryce Harper (knee) on the disabled list and Howie Kendrick recently having gotten over a back issue, Lind should continue to handle at least semi-regular work in the outfield for the time being, at least against right-handed pitching. Considering Lind is hitting .317 with nine home runs in 198 plate appearances this season, he could provide some sneaky value in deeper leagues where he's still available.

Lind will start in left field and bat sixth Monday against the Marlins, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's the sixth start in seven games for Lind, who has been able to carve out some regular run in the Nationals lineup thanks to injuries thinning the outfield ranks. While Lind is miscast as a left fielder, he's proven more than capable at the plate this season, batting .320 with nine home runs and 37 RBI in just 170 plate appearances. He's worth a look in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues while the at-bats are available for him.

Lind hit a two-run home run Sunday in a 3-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Lind's blast off Rockies starter Jon Gray in the fifth inning was all the Nationals would need to earn their 62nd win of the season. The veteran is now hitting a solid .320 through 150 at-bats in a depth role this year, though his pedestrian nine homers and 37 RBI bring down his fantasy value.

Lind went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Playing in an AL park afforded the Nats the opportunity to get Lind's red-hot stick into the lineup as their DH -- he's now 7-for-10 since the All-Star break, and has homered in each of his last two starts.

Lind went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Sunday's rout of the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

While Ryan Zimmerman's resurgence this season has kept Lind on the bench more often than not, the 34-year-old is putting together an impressive year in his own right, slashing .312/.373/.544 with seven homers and 31 RBI in only 142 plate appearances. Should the injury bug find Zimmerman again, Lind would become a priority add in almost every fantasy format.

Lind has a .300/.365/.508 slash line with six home runs in 137 plate appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals reserve first baseman has been one of the best bench options in the league this season, and is slashing .357/.419/.714 as a pinch hitter in 28 at-bats. Lind has a handful of appearances in left field as well, but his usage will likely stay the same if first baseman Ryan Zimmerman remains relatively healthy. When he receives the starting nod, the 33-year-old could prove to be a solid plug-and-play option in most formats.

Lind will start at first base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Marlins, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nationals are giving three of their key bats (Ryan Zimmerman, Daniel Murphy and Matt Wieters) a day off for rest in the series finale, so in addition to replacing Zimmerman in the field, Lind will benefit from a prominent spot in the lineup thanks to the absences. Despite not seeing regular starts for an extended period at any point this season, Lind has been deadly in a part-time role, batting .348 with six home runs and 26 RBI in just 106 plate appearances.

Lind went 3-for-5 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's loss to the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

He's taken advantage of the opportunity presented by Ryan Zimmerman's sore back, starting four of the last five games and slashing .375/.389/.625 with a homer, four RBI and three runs. Zimmerman could be back in action Tuesday, but Lind's strong numbers on the season should allow him to continue seeing occasional starts against right-handed pitchers.

Lind went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Saturday's loss to Texas.

EDGE Analysis

Lind has made the most of his playing time this season with a sterling .333/.395/.613 slash line through 86 plate appearances. He's been sporadically spelling Ryan Zimmerman at first base, and Zimmerman is currently nursing a back injury, so Lind could see a fleeting uptick in fantasy value.
