Nationals' Jayson Werth: Resting again Sunday afternoon

Werth is out of the lineup Sunday against the Marlins, MLB.com's William Ladson reports.

Analysis:

Werth was held out of Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader, likely for maintenance reasons. His absence Sunday is more likely for matchup-related reasons, as he is a cold 1-for-16 lifetime against Miami starter Jose Fernandez. Clint Robinson will man left field in Werth's stead, giving Dusty Baker an extra favorable platoon matchup.
