Jorbit Vivas - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

On bench Sunday Vivas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Vivas had started in six of the Nationals' last seven games, but he'll hit the bench Sunday while southpaw Robbie Ray takes the hill for the Giants. With a .780 OPS through 54 plate appearances, Vivas has put himself in consideration for the final spot in the Nationals' regular lineup against right-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a part-time role with Jose Tena (.811 OPS in 36 plate appearances) having gotten off to a similarly strong start.

Playing time on upswing Vivas will start at second base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Pirates.

Impact He'll stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game, this time shifting over to the keystone after manning third base in each of the previous three contests. While the left-handed-hitting Vivas' playing time against left-handed pitching is likely to remain more variable, he might have earned himself more frequent opportunities to start versus righties after getting on base at a .406 clip in 33 plate appearances against them so far in 2026.

Sticking in bench role Vivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact After picking up starts in all three games of the Nationals' series versus the Dodgers over the weekend, Vivas has been on the bench for the entire three-game set versus the Cardinals. Despite posting a .934 OPS over 23 plate appearances to begin the season, Vivas looks like he'll have to settle for a utility role while Washington has all of its key infielders available.

Heading to bench Monday Vivas is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Vivas will hit the bench Monday, but he had picked up starts in each of the last three games. He recorded a base hit in each of those contests and also drew two walks, bringing his on-base percentage up to .476 on the season. While he's holding his own at the plate, Vivas could continue to get a look as a near-everyday player at third or second base.

Shipped to Nationals The Nationals acquired Vivas from the Yankees on Sunday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Sean Paul Linan, Mark Golden of the Baltimore Banner reports.
