Jonathan Villar getting a breather as Brewers battle Pirates

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Jonathan Villar is not in Tuesday's starting lineup versus the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

It's likely just a standard day off for Villar, who is slashing .221/.284/.345 with 8 home runs, 37 RBI, 30 runs scored, and 18 steals in 318 plate appearances (76 games) this season. Domingo Santana is leading off for the Brewers while Hernan Perez gets the nod at second base.

numberFire's models project Villar to record a .244 batting average with 6 homers, 21 RBI, 29 runs scored, and 12 steals in 229 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
