A.J. Ellis

A.J. Ellis back to Marlins' bench on Friday

Miami Marlins catcher A.J. Ellis is out of the club's starting lineup Friday against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Ellis spelled J.T. Realmuto on Wednesday, but now that Realmuto is well-rested he's getting the start and hitting sixth against Homer Bailey.

For the remainder of the season, our models project Ellis for 2 doubles and 5 RBI across 57 plate appearances.
