Dickerson could wind up latching on with a contender in a righty-mashing reserve outfield role over the next few weeks. The 34-year-old slugging outfielder has hit .252/.285/.357 with two homers and 17 RBI across 151 plate appearances in 49 games this season for the Nationals.

If there are no takers for Dickerson prior to the deadline, the Nationals ought to let him go. The 34-year-old has been a liability in hitting .248/.278/.336 this season, and it’s past time to take a look at Jake Alu or maybe Blake Rutherford in his place.

Dickerson is 9-for-24 with two homers and eight RBI in eight games since returning from the injured list last week. If he stays hot, he could begin picking up some starts against lefties. He'll definitely keep playing every time the Nationals are facing a righty.

Dickerson rejoins the Nationals for Monday's game against the Mets following a six-week absence due to left calf strain. The 33-year-old corner outfielder should play regularly in left field against right-handed pitching for Washington moving forward with Stone Garrett drawing starts against southpaws.
