Cubs' Alfonso Rivas absent from Monday lineup
The Chicago Cubs did not list Alfonso Rivas as a starter for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
Rivas will take a seat Monday while Yan Gomes starts at catcher and bats fifth. Willson Contreras will play designated hitter and Frank Schwindel will move back to first base.
Our models project Rivas to make 128 more plate appearances this season, with 3 home runs, 12 runs, 12 RBI, and a .219 batting average.
