Lonnie Chisenhall not in Indians' lineup on Thursday

Cleveland Indians outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays and pitcher R.A. Dickey.

What It Means:

The hot-hitting Chisenhall will get a breather Thursday. He's batting .424 (14-for-33) with three jacks, 10 RBI's, and a .529 wOBA across his last eight games. Tyler Naquin will replace him in right field and hit seventh against their across-the-border foes.

Chisenhall has had a productive season for Cleveland, slashing .297/.354/.480 with five home runs, four steals, and a .355 wOBA in 193 plate appearances. Our models project him to cool off slightly over the remaining course of the season, hitting .269/.330/.418 with five taters, four steals, and a .323 wOBA.
