Nationals' Corey Dickerson: Idle versus southpaw

Dickerson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Though he'll be taking a seat Monday with southpaw Drew Smyly on the bump for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Dickerson will likely start the remaining two games of the series with the Cubs, who will bring right-handers Jameson Taillon and Kyle Hendricks to the hill Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Dickerson's platoon mate, Stone Garrett, will replace him in left field Monday.
