Michael Saunders out of the Phillies' lineup on Wednesday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Michael Saunders is not in the lineup for Wednesday's home against the Boston Red Sox.
Moving back to Philadelphia for a home game tonight, the Phillies will not have a designated hitter -- so Saunders will sit after handling DH duties in Boston last night.
Saunders has really struggled from the dish this year, slashing .200/.254/.354 with a .258 wOBA. numberFire's models do expect him to pick it up a bit though, projecting him to hit .240 with 9 home runs, 28 runs scored and 31 RBI in 272 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
