Lo Duca starting first baseman for now: The Nationals, who placed 1B Dmitri Young on the 15-day disabled list after Saturday night's game, also have Aaron Boone on the disabled list. Paul Lo Duca, primarily a catcher, started at first base in each game of the series against Atlanta, and manager Manny Acta said infielder Ronnie Belliard, who started at third base, is the top backup at first.

Fantasy Analysis
Lo Duca had one hit in six at-bats Sunday during a 15-6 romp against Atlanta. He is 7-for-24 (.291) during a five-game hitting streak. Two stints on the DL in 2008 have played a part in Lo Duca losing his status as everyday catcher, but the Nationals keep finding places for him to play. Still, Lo Duca is best left for NL-only Fantasy leagues. (Updated 07/20/2008).
