Miami Marlins infielder Derek Dietrich is not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Washington Nationals.
After two straight starts, Dietrich will head to the bench for a breather. In his place, Christian Colon will man third and bat eighth against lefty Gio Gonzalez.
Oddly enough, Dietrich is slashing .393/.514/.536 against lefties this season. We project him for 4 home runs, 24 RBI and a .262 average over the remainder of the 2017 season.
