Dansby Swanson not in Braves' starting lineup versus Dodgers
Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is not starting on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
There have been talks of the Braves possibly demoting Swanson down to Triple-A Gwinnett, but this appears to just be a day off for the struggling sophomore shortstop. He's slashing a disappointing .210/.286/.307 with a 23.5 strikeout percentage in 357 plate appearances (93 games) this season. Johan Camargo is starting at shortstop for Atlanta while Brandon Phillips gets the nod at second base.
numberFire's models project Swanson to record a .248 batting average in 224 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
