Sitting again Wednesday Ruiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Impact The switch-hitting Ruiz has fairly even splits against right- and left-handed pitching both this season and throughout his career, but he'll still sit against a southpaw starter (David Peterson) for the second straight day. The Nationals may just have wanted to open up another start at catcher for the 23-year-old Harry Ford, who bats from the right side and had fared better against lefties at Triple-A Rochester this season prior to being recalled July 17.

On base four times in Sunday's win Ruiz went 3-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Reds.

Impact The 28-year-old catcher extended his hitting streak to six games as he continues a bounce-back campaign. Ruiz hasn't homered since before the All-Star break, but during his 17-game power drought he's still compiled a .278/.350/.352 slash line with four doubles, four RBI and eight runs.
