Paul DeJong, Washington Nationals, Out With Fractured Nose, on 10-Day Injured List
Paul DeJong of the Washington Nationals is out with a fractured nose and has been placed on the 10-day injured list, missing the first half of the season.
What It Means
Paul DeJong's absence means José Tena will likely take over at third base for the Nationals. Tena has a batting average of .261 this season with no home runs and five RBIs. This change could affect the lineup for the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Phillies.
DeJong played 16 games this season with a batting average of .204. He collected 11 hits in 54 at-bats but has yet to hit a home run. His performance on the road has been challenging, with a batting average of .107 in away games. This injury will pause any momentum he might have been building.
