Making push for full-time role Mead will start at third base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Though he's mainly been used in the short side of a platoon at first base with Luis Garcia this season, Mead has now drawn his last seven starts at the hot corner and looks to have emerged as the preferred option at the position following Brady House's recent demotion to Triple-A Rochester. The Nationals will include Mead in the starting nine for a second straight matchup versus a right-hander (Gavin Williams), after the 25-year-old slugged home runs off righties Tanner Bibee and Matt Festa during Monday's series opener in Cleveland. Altogether, Mead is slashing .235/.355/.479 with seven home runs, three steals, 20 RBI and 22 runs in 141 plate appearances on the season, and he could be worthy of a pickup in fantasy leagues where he's available now that he's seemingly moved into a near-everyday role.

The third baseman later added another solo homer in the fifth inning to extend Washington's lead, marking his first career multi-homer game. The long balls were his sixth and seventh of the season and he's now homered three times over his last three games. Mead is slashing .241/.353/.491 with eight doubles, 20 RBI, 22 runs scored and three stolen bases across 136 plate appearances.

On base three times Monday Mead went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double and an RBI in Monday's extra-innings loss to the Mets.

Impact The 25-year-old began the night on the bench but wound up seeing a full allotment of plate appearances after pinch-hitting for Luis Garcia in the seventh inning of a game that wasn't decided until the 12th. Mead and Garcia has formed a very effective tandem at first base over the last few weeks, and over 50 PAs since April 29, Mead is slashing .324/.500/.541 with five doubles, a homer, a steal, six RBI and 10 runs. Garcia, for his part, has a .921 OPS in 49 PAs over that same period. With Brady House demoted to Triple-A on Monday, the Nationals' lineup could see a shake-up that gets both players a little more playing time, either at second base or at DH.
