Jayson Werth out with illness against Washington

The Nationals have given right fielder Jayson Werth the night off for the Friday game against the host Mets. He is dealing with the flu. Nate Schierholtz is set to start there instead.

Werth is in a 2-for-15 mini-slump, but he owns a strong .283/.383/.448 stat line on the season with 77 runs scored and 78 RBI.
