Matt Adams not starting as Braves close series with Cubs
Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Adams is not starting on Wednesday afternoon versus the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:

Adams is slashing .286/.333/.554 with 15 home runs, 43 RBI, and 34 runs scored in 252 plate appearances (79 games) this season. numberFire's models project him to record a .267 batting average with 8 homers, 29 RBI, and 23 runs scored in 191 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
