CINCINNATI — Washington Nationals third baseman Nick Senzel was scratched from the opening-day lineup after breaking a thumb during batting practice. Senzel fractured his right thumb on a bad hop and could be out three to four weeks, according to manager Dave Martinez. Senzel was signed to a $2 million, one-year contract after playing parts of five seasons with the Reds. Ildemaro Vargas replaced Senzel in the lineup. The Reds beat the Nationals 8-2.
