Nationals' Jayson Werth: Resting Sunday

Werth is out of the lineup Sunday against the Cardinals, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

Analysis:

Werth has started seven straight contests in left field for the Nationals, but will get the day off in the midst of a 1-for-12 slump. Michael Taylor will get the starting nod in center field for the afternoon contest, while Ben Revere moves over to cover Werth's spot in left.
