What It Means:

Yadiel Rivera is playing shortstop and hitting ninth. Aaron Hill is assuming leadoff duties. It's just a day of rest for Villar.

Villar is having a career year. He owns a .348 wOBA with an 11.9 percent walk rate, six bombs and 25 steals. All of those numbers are career highs, except for home runs, and he'll tie his career high (seven) with his next jack.
