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.
