Charlie Blackmon (rest) out of lineup Wednesday
Charlie Blackmon is getting the day off Wednesday for the Rockies. Brandon Barnes will bat eighth and play left field in his place.
What It Means:
It's a regular day off for Blackmon, who is hitting for an unimpressive .237/.297/.333 slash line against left-handed hitters. His wOBA against lefties is .282 compared to a .389 wOBA against righties. Thus, Brandon Barnes, a right-handed hitter, gets the start against Martin Perez at Coors field. Barnes is hitting .266/.320/.358 for his career against lefties and makes for an appealing cheap option, like anyone who ever plays at Coors Field.
