Phillies vs. Nationals lineups: Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard out for Monday's series opener

The Philadelphia Phillies have been eliminated from playoff contention, but they have a chance to play spoiler against the Washington Nationals this week in Washington. The Nats need just one win or a Braves loss in order to clinch the National League East.

If the Phillies are able to sweep Washington, and Atlanta sweeps the Pirates, the two clubs would tie for the division crown and play a one-game playoff on Thursday. This isn't a likely scenario, but one Philadelphia could make happen with a solid final series of the season.

The lineups for Monday's game have been released. Ryan Howard is out for the rest of the season, while Jimmy Rollins also has the night off to rest his aging body.

2. John Mayberry (R) CF
3. Chase Utley (L) 2B
4. Carlos Ruiz (R) C
