Ryan McMahon moves to Rockies' bench against Pirates

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon is not in Monday's lineup against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

McMahon will be replaced by Pat Valaika at third base in today's series opener as the Rockies continue to fill the void for Nolan Arenado (suspension). He went a combined 1-for-6 with 3 strikeouts in back-to-back starts over the weekend against the Washington Nationals.

McMahon is averaging 1.4 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to bat .251 with 6 homers, 25 RBI, and 21 runs scored in 226 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
