Colorado Rockies catcher Tony Wolters is not starting in Wednesday's matchup with the San Diego Padres.
Wolters started the last two for Colorado, but he will be replaced behind the plate by Ryan Hanigan, who is lined up in the eight-hole against Padres southpaw Clayton Richard.
The young backstop is slashing .259/.357/.308 with no taters, 14 RBI, and 28 runs scored over 214 plate appearances (61 games) in his sophomore season. numberFire's models project Wolters to record a .261 batting average with 15 RBI, and 17 runs scored in 155 more plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
