Rendon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Braves, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.
Rendon has gotten on base at a .375 clip while starting in the Nationals' last eight games, but he's been less of an asset in batting average-only leagues during that span with a 4-for-24 showing at the dish. Manager Dusty Baker will just be giving Rendon a breather Sunday, with Wilmer Difo drawing in at third base in his stead.
