Arizona's Jake Lamb sitting Tuesday versus Marlins

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb is out of starting lineup Tuesday against the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

He probably would have been sitting anyway with the Marlins throwing left-hander Justin Nicolino, but beat writer Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic says Lamb has a minor shoulder issue. It'll be something worth monitoring the rest of the week. Brandon Drury is starting at third base and batting second on Tuesday night.

Lamb is slashing .275/.366/.513 with 3 home runs and a .374 wOBA in 93 plate appearances this season. We project his production to drop-off over the remaining course of the season, forecasting him to slash .249/.323/.383 with 7 home runs and a .305 wOBA.
