Gerardo Parra starting for Rockies on Saturday
Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra is in the starting lineup on Saturday, playing left field and hitting sixth against the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
Parra was out on Friday against southpaw Clayton Richard, but he returns to face Padres starter Jhoulys Chacin on Saturday. His return shuffles the defensive alignment, pushing Ian Desmond to first base and Mark Reynolds to the bench.
Parra has been smashing righty pitching this year, hitting .311 with an .835 OPS. He's hit 5 home runs, 19 runs, and 23 RBI's in 109 plate appearances against right-handed pitchers.
