Ryan Zimmerman is out of the Nationals lineup for a second straight day, as the team tries to decide a course of action regarding the third baseman's swollen right shoulder.
Zimmerman left Saturday's game after the fifth inning when he hurt his shoulder on a throwing error. He pinch-hit on Sunday, but did not play the field.
Anthony Rendon is starting at third with Danny Espinosa at second as Washington opens a series against the surprising Marlins. Bryce Harper is back in the Nats lineup and batting second after sitting out Sunday's series finale against the Braves.
