The Nationals are sitting Abimelec Ortiz in favor of Yohandy Morales against a righty on Wednesday.

It’s just the second time since Ortiz was called up on Aug. 3 that he’d been left out of the lineup against a righty. Ortiz is 3-for-26 with one RBI and a 9/1 K/BB in his last nine games, which helps explain his absence.
