Jayson Werth shines in leadoff role
by Rose Ingberman | Thu, Aug 20th 8:25am EDT
It's only two games, but since Jayson Werth took over the leadoff spot for the Nationals, he's gone 4-for-10 with a double, a triple and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
After coming off the DL July 28 (fractured wrist), the veteran outfielder had hit only .145/.203/.242 with one homer. The Nationals went 5-14 in that period. Werth previously hit leadoff for 38 games in 2012--coming off another wrist injury--slashing .309/.388/.450. It's likely he'll lead off until Denard Span returns.
