Suzuki isn't in the lineup for Friday's originally scheduled game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki will take a seat for the second consecutive game with Yan Gomes taking over behind the plate Friday. Suzuki is hitting .242 with one home run and five RBI over 10 games this season.

Suzuki is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki, who connected on his first home run of the season in Wednesday's 11-6 loss, will unsurprisingly sit out with the Nationals concluding their series in New York with a day game after a night game. Yan Gomes will work in a battery with Austin Voth in the matinee affair.

Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

It took him 10 games, but Suzuki finally launched his first homer of 2020. The veteran backstop has had a slow start at the plate overall, slashing .242/.257/.394, but that's still been more productive than Yan Gomes. Unless that changes, Suzuki's spot at the top of the depth chart should be secure.

Suzuki remains on the bench Monday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki had started eight of the Nationals' first 11 games behind the plate, but he's since been on the bench for two straight. With a .231/.250/.308 slash line in his first 28 plate appearances, it's not too surprising to see his role decrease. Yan Gomes will get the nod again behind the plate.

Suzuki is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki has thus far handled the larger portion of the timeshare behind the plate with Yan Gomes this season, starting in eight games to Gomes' four. Though he'll be resting due to the quick turnaround for Sunday's game, expect Suzuki to rejoin the lineup in Monday's series opener versus the Mets.

Suzuki is not starting Tuesday against the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki started five of the first seven games behind the plate. Yan Gomes gets the nod for just the third time in his absence Tuesday.

Suzuki isn't in the lineup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki had started three of the Nationals' four games to begin the season as the team appears to be favoring Suzuki's offensive skills over Yan Gomes' superior defense. However, Gomes will start at catcher in Tuesday's contest, batting eighth.

Suzuki will start behind the dish Monday against the Blue Jays and will bat seventh.

EDGE Analysis

Suzuki 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.
