Raburn will be placed on the bereavement list Sunday, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raburn was scratched from Saturday's lineup and manager Dusty Baker later revealed that Raburn is dealing with the loss of his grandfather.

Raburn was scratched from Saturday's starting lineup.

EDGE Analysis

A reason for his removal was not immediately provided. Chris Heisey enters the lineup in left field, batting second, while Wilmer Difo moves down to the eight hole against lefty Anthony Banda.

Raburn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Saturday's win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Raburn has received just 55 plate appearances this season, so his fantasy value has been extremely limited. However, the Washington outfield is dealing with multiple injuries, so he could see a fleeting boost in playing time. Receiving semi-regular at-bats in a stacked lineup has appeal, and Raburn is definitely a potential add candidate in deep settings. He's just unlikely to carry long-term value.

Raburn is starting in left field and batting second Friday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

It marks Raburn's second start in the last three games, and there could be more to come. With Michael Taylor (oblique) joining Jayson Werth (toe) on the 10-day disabled list Friday, the Nationals will be searching for bodies in a suddenly-depleted outfield. Expect Raburn to compete with Brian Goodwin and Chris Heisey for starting bids, though the veteran's .302 batting average this year could give him a nice advantage.

Raburn is batting second and playing left field Thursday against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

With Chicago trotting left-hander Jon Lester to the mound, the righty-batting Raburn again assumes a short-side platoon role during the getaway day contest. Raburn appears to merely be spelling Brian Goodwin, and though he's off to an 11-for-34 start in limited action, these starts will remain fleeting.

Raburn went 2-for-3 with a home run and a strikeout in Wednesday's loss to the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

A late addition to the lineup following Michael Taylor's scratch, Raburn accounted for all the offense Washington could muster against Dan Straily and company. He's been on a decent run since getting the call up in early June, going 10-for-31, but the 36-year-old's limitations against right-handed pitching are well documented.

Raburn has been added to Wednesday's lineup, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raburn will man left field and bat seventh against right-hander Dan Straily with Michael Taylor (undisclosed) scratched, marking his seventh start with the team since being called up earlier this month. A .247/.295/.393 career hitter against right-handed pitching, he has gone 8-for-28 with one extra-base so far with Washington.

Raburn is starting in left field and hitting second Monday against the Dodgers, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Raburn, who was just promoted from Triple-A earlier in the day, has the platoon advantage against lefty Hyun-Jin Ryu, so it is not surprising that he gets the nod and an advantageous placement in the lineup. Jayson Werth (toe) was placed on the 10-day DL on Monday, and Raburn should continue to start against southpaws in the short term.

Raburn's contract was purchased from Triple-A Syracuse on Monday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Raburn will join the Nationals in Los Angeles to replace the injured Jayson Werth (toe). Raburn has consistently killed left-handed pitching in his career, so a platoon with Brian Goodwin until Werth returns seems likely.

Raburn is expected to be called up to the majors Monday, Chelsea Janes of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Jayson Werth (toe) likely landing on the DL, sources say that Raburn will meet the Nationals in Los Angeles prior to Monday's series opener with the Dodgers. No timetable for Werth's return has been revealed, but Raburn will likely fill a platoon role with Brian Goodwin in the meantime.
