Cleveland Indians catcher Kevin Plawecki is not starting in Thursday afternoon's series opener against left-hander Ryan Yarbrough and the Tampa Bay Rays.
Plawecki is being replaced at catcher by Eric Haase. He should be in line for more playing time while Roberto Perez recovers from a concussion.
numberFire's models expect Plawecki to record 4 homers, 15 RBI, and 15 runs scored over the rest of the season.
