Oakland's Brent Rooker sitting versus Atlanta Monday
The Oakland Athletics did not list Brent Rooker in their starting lineup for Monday's game against the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
Rooker will take a seat Monday while Esteury Ruiz starts in centerfield and bats leadoff. Seth Brown will take over at designated hitter and JJ Bleday will shift to left field.
Rooker's numbers on the season are still impressive, but he has started to slow down as we enter June. He's batting .261 with a .873 OPS through 195 plate appearances this year, with 11 homers, 23 runs, and 32 RBI.
