Out of Friday's lineup Barrera is not in the lineup Friday against the Padres, Matt Weyrich of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Barrera has been seeing plenty of action with Yan Gomes (oblique) and Alex Avila (calf) sidelined, but he won't start the first game of the second half. Rene Rivera signed with the Nationals earlier in the day and will start Friday. Barrera and Rivera should split playing time behind the plate until Gomes or Avila is healthy.

Productive off bench Friday Barrera went 2-for-3 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Friday's loss to the Giants.

Impact After replacing Yan Gomes (oblique) behind the plate for the bottom of the second inning, Barrera proceeded to be one of the few bright spots for the Nats in a 5-3 loss. With Alex Avila (calf) still on the IL, Barrera could find himself starting for Washington over the final two games before the All-Star break and potentially seeing a significant role after the break as well.
