Ian Desmond sitting on Saturday for Colorado
Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond is not in the starting lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday night.
What It Means:
The Rockies have been riding Desmond in hopes that he'll find his power game again. However, Desmond has yet to do that, so it's probably a good time to give him a night off. Mike Tauchman will take over in left and bat seventh in Arizona.
Desmond has just 5 homers on the year after posting 22 a year ago. numberFire's algorithms project him for just 6 more dingers in addition to 27 RBI the rest of the year.
