Chase Utley

Dodgers' Chase Utley out of lineup on Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Chase Utley is not in Thursday's starting lineup.

What It Means:

Utley has been in every other day for the last few games, but he's not a regular starter. Justin Turner returns to third base, bumping Logan Forsythe to the keystone today, which shunts Utley to the bench.

Our models project Utley to hit .254 with 5 home runs, 32 runs, 25 RBI, and 3 stolen bases in 258 more plate appearances in 2017.
