Arismendy Alcantara

Arismendy Alcantara spot-starts in center field for Reds

Cincinnati Reds second baseman/center fielder Arismendy Alcantara will start on Sunday and bat seventh.

What It Means:

Alcantara is taking over from the injured Billy Hamilton (shoulder), who he also spelled after the injury last night. Alcantara has displayed speed in the minors, but he can't get on base enough to make the most of it.

In 52 plate appearances so far in 2017, Alcantara has slashed .255/.269/.333, with 9 runs, 4 RBI's, and one stolen base.
