Detroit Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler is not starting on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Andrew Romine will start at second base and bat eighth versus Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez. It's likely just a standard day off for Kinsler, who is slashing .240/.323/.387 with 9 home runs, 23 RBI, 49 runs scored, and 6 steals in 71 games this season.
numberFire's models project Kinsler to record a .276 batting average with 7 homers, 29 RBI, 37 runs scored, and 7 steals in 269 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
