A.J. Pierzynski (rest) not in Braves lineup today
A.J. Pierzynski is not in the Braves lineup today as they take on the Rockies at Coors. Ryan Lavarnway will start at catcher and bat eighth.
What It Means:
This appear to be a breather for Pierzynski as the Braves face Rockies' lefty Jorge De La Rosa. De La Rosa surrenders a .309 wOBA to righties, however Lavarnway has a .217 wOBA and -0.49 nERD on the season. In fact, our algorithm projects Lavarnway's wOBA to drop to .213 for the remainder of the season.
