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