What It Means:

Perkins will head to the bench for Game 1 after making three consecutive starts in right field for the Phillies. The 26-year-old rookie is 14-for-77 (.182) through his first 35 major league contests. Hyun Soo Kim will start in right field and bat sixth versus Marlins right-hander Dan Straily on Tuesday afternoon.

numberFire's models expect Perkins to improve over the rest of the year, with a projected .217 batting average in only 26 remaining plate appearances.
