Nationals' Trey Lipscomb: Rejoining big-league club
The Washington Nationals recalled Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.With CJ Abrams heading down to the minors for the final week-plus of the season, Lipscomb will return to Washington to bolster the Nats' infield depth. The 24-year-old owns just a .515 OPS through 204 plate appearances in the big leagues this season, and he will almost certainly be limited to a bench role while Nasim Nunez takes over for Abrams at shortstop.

Nationals' Trey Lipscomb: On bench again Thursday
Trey Lipscomb is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.The righty-hitting Lipscomb had already been excluded from the starting nine in four of the Washington Nationals' last six matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll now find himself on the bench Thursday against a lefty (Kyle Harrison). Lipscomb already seems to have lost hold of a regular role at third base to Ildemaro Vargas, and a demotion to the minors could be imminent for the 24-year-old Lipscomb, who is slashing just .152/.211/.182 since he was recalled from Triple-A Rochester on July 6.

Nationals' Trey Lipscomb: Exiting starting nine
Trey Lipscomb is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.Ildemaro Vargas will get the nod at third base while Lipscomb retreats to the bench for the series finale. While starting in each of the Washington Nationals' last nine games, Lipscomb recorded just six hits in 30 at-bats, bringing his batting average down to a .222 over 51 games with the big club. Lipscomb has made an impact on the bases (11 steals in 13 attempts), but the poor batting average and lack of power (.037 ISO) in his profile makes it difficult to mine much fantasy value from him outside of NL-only leagues or deeper mixed leagues.
