A.J. Pierzynski is not in the starting lineup this afternoon for the Braves. Ryan Lavarnway will take over behind the plate and bat eighth.
This appears to be a day off after the night game for A.J. Pierzynski. Pierzynski has started out July with a .554 wOBA and two home runs. Lavarnway is batting .154 in 44 plate appearances so he has limited appeal.
