Vivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The left-handed hitter had started six of the Nationals' last seven games, seeing time at second base, third base and DH, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Giants. With a .780 OPS through 54 plate appearances, Vivas has put himself in consideration for regular duty against right-handed pitching, but Jose Tena (.811 OPS in 36 plate appearances) is also competing for the same playing time.
