Nationals' Jayson Werth: Held out Thursday

Werth (groin) is out of the lineup Thursday against the Braves, Mark Zuckerman of MASN reports.

Analysis:

This doesn't come as much of a surprise, as the Nationals suggested Werth would sit out a couple games in order to get back to full health. Adam Eaton will slide over to fill the void in left field while Michael Taylor takes over in center.
