Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story is not in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Chicago Cubs.
Pat Valaika will start at shortstop and bat seventh versus right-hander Kyle Hendricks. Gerardo Parra is also sitting out, opening up a starting spot for Ian Desmond in left field.
Story has struggled to a .180/.289/.396 slash in 128 plate appearances this season, but he has recorded six longballs and 15 RBI's. His 37.5 percent strikeout rate could use some work.
