Lombardozzi seeing more PT: Nationals utility player Stephen Lombardozzi could start seeing more playing time, especially atop the batting order for Washington as he hit on Monday against the Phillies. Lombardozzi has impressed and manager Davey Johnson wants to find time for him in the lineup, reports the Washington Post. I like finding time for him, Johnson said. Hes been playing great. Hes a great second baseman, and hes been playing everywhere. Hes an outstanding utility guy for us. I like the fact that hes getting on base better than anybody. Its more me finding a spot for him.

Fantasy Analysis
Lombardozzi went 0 for 4 atop the order on Monday, but is still hitting .316 on the season for the Nationals. He has begun taking away playing time from other members of the club, but is still not playing enough to be a consistent Fantasy option. He is young, and that could ultimately happen. Still, Lombardozzi remains an NL-only Fantasy option for now. (Updated 05/21/2012).
