Chad Pinder kept on Athletics' bench on Saturday afternoon

Oakland Athletics utility-man Chad Pinder is not starting in Saturday's lineup against the Seattle Mariners.

What It Means:

Pinder will rest against his division competition after Tony Kemp was shifted to second, Nick Allen was moved to shortstop, and Elvis Andrus was given a breather.

According to Baseball Savant on 126 batted balls this season, Pinder has accounted for a 6.3% barrel rate and a .285 expected weighted on-base average.
