Both outfielder Josh Willingham and shortstop Cristian Guzman are getting the night with what interim manager Jim Riggleman referred to it as "general aches and pains."

"We're giving Josh Willingham a day off; he's a little banged up," Riggleman said. "We just felt like this would be a good day to for him to sit one out and hopefully come back tomorrow,"

With both of those players sitting out, Riggleman moved Adam Dunn to the three hole with Ryan Zimmerman batting cleanup.

"Josh has been great protection for Adam [Dunn] and we just felt like without him in the lineup, the best way to see some more pitches would be to have [Ryan] Zimmerman hit behind him," said Riggleman.

It won't be a long term situation because when Willingham return to the lineup on Sunday, Dunn will move back to the No. 4 spot.

RZ batting clean-up :pimp:

I hope he uses the same lineup tomorrow
