Tena is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
Tena started five of the previous six games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while CJ Abrams gets a day off from playing shortstop as the designated hitter. While Washington may continue to hold him out against left-handed pitching, Tena should start versus right-handers more often than not, as he's maintained a .288/.338/.485 slash line (130 wRC+) over 71 plate appearances in that split this season.
