Peter Bourjos on bench Wednesday for Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Peter Bourjos is not starting on Wednesday versus the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

Mallex Smith will slide back over to center field while Corey Dickerson returns to the starting lineup following a one-game absence, so Bourjos is on the bench after receiving a rare starting nod on Tuesday. Right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez is on the hill for Baltimore.

Bourjos is slashing .243/.297/.427 across 112 plate appearances (59 games) this season. numberFire's models project him to turn in a .246 batting average over 68 remaining plate appearances this year.
