Atlanta Braves third baseman Rio Ruiz is not in the lineup on Friday.
Ruiz is getting a breather on Friday after starting the last two games for Atlanta. Danny Santana will bat seventh and handle the hot corner versus the New York Mets.
Our models project Ruiz for 92 plate appearances the rest of the season, but the third baseman may see an uptick in playing time as Adonis Garcia landed back on the DL Thursday.
