Werth is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

Analysis:

With the Nationals finally eliminated from the playoffs, Matt Williams might begin resting veterans and make sure the team is ready for 2016. The 36-year-old Werth, often prone to days off, is definitely a candidate for that. Matt den Dekker will get the start in left field, batting seventh.
