David Ross starting behind plate Tuesday for Chicago
Chicago Cubs catcher David Ross will start behind the plate Tuesday versus the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Ross usually catches Tuesday's starter, Jon Lester, so this is no surprise. He also draws a favorable matchup against Reds' starter John Lamb, a lefty, as Ross is hitting .353 against southpaws this season. Despite Ross getting the start, Willson Contreras is still in Tuesday's lineup, getting the nod in left field.
Ross is slashing .245/.358/.469 with six home runs and a .346 wOBA in 124 plate appearances this season. Our models project him to hit .209/.307/.355 with three home runs and a .289 wOBA over the remaining course of the season in limited playing time.
