Rendon is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Braves, Dan Kolko of MASN Sports reports.

Despite riding a modest five-game hitting streak, Rendon will get the day off as manager Dusty Baker rests his starters ahead of Washington's weekend series against the Dodgers. Adrian Sanchez will draw a start at the hot corner in his stead.

Suarez went 1-for-3 with a walk and a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Cardinals.

The blast was his 25th of the year, and it ended an 18-game homer drought for Suarez. The 26-year-old is slashing only .214/.306/.310 in September, but this might be the spark he needed to finish the season on a high note.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and four RBI during Monday's win over Arizona.

The homer broke a 2-2 tie in the top of the eighth inning and paved the way for Colorado's win. Arenado is now up to 33 round trippers, 123 RBI and 90 runs with a .311/.370/.593 slash line, as he further affirms his status as one of the safest bets to build your fantasy team around.

Arenado went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

He tormented the Dodgers' pitching staff the entire series, going 8-for-15 with two homers and seven RBI in the four-game set. The 26-year-old has improved his road splits this season and leads all of baseball with 119 RBI.

Asuaje is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Asuaje will head to the bench after starting five consecutive games for the Padres. In that time he went 5-for-16 (.313) and scored two runs. Yangervis Solarte will start at second base and hit fifth with Asuaje out.

Rendon is out of the lineup Sunday against the Phillies.

The Nationals are giving many of their regular starters the day off Sunday, and Rendon is no exception. He'll give way to Adrian Sanchez at the hot corner. With no game scheduled for Monday, look for Rendon to return Tuesday against the Braves.

Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Saturday, Jack Magruder of FanRagSports.com reports.

With Reno bounced from the Triple-A playoffs, Vargas will join the Diamondbacks' expanded September roster. Vargas can help out all around the infield, but it's difficult to imagine his bat will ever play well outside of the Pacific Coast League. He hit just .267/.316/.360 in two seasons at the Double-A level.

Farmer was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

While Farmer put together a fine season in the minors, slashing .317/.375/.476 with 10 homers between Double-A and Triple-A, he will likely only see sporadic opportunities. A catcher by trade, Farmer also played a decent amount of third base this year, but it's hard to imagine he will play there much (if at all) with the big club.

Arenado went 2-for-3 with two walks, a homer and four RBI in Thursday's win over the Dodgers.

Arenado entered play Thursday with a .311 career average against Clayton Kershaw, and he got the better of the Dodgers' ace again with a three-run homer in the first inning. He's now up to 116 RBI (most in baseball), putting him on pace to reach 130 RBI for the third straight season.
