Victor Robles will return from a hamstring injury and be in the starting lineup Monday night when the Washington Nationals host the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series. Robles is slated to play center field and bat eighth against Cardinals ace Jack Flaherty. Robles has missed five straight postseason games since suffering the injury in Game 2 of the NL Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jose Martinez will move into the Cardinals’ lineup after the team produced just one run and four hits in two home losses. Matt Carpenter, who is hitless in six at-bats in the series and 1-for-11 overall in the postseason, isn’t in the starting lineup.
