Trevor Plouffe on Rays' bench against Yankees
Tampa Bay Rays third baseman/designated hitter Trevor Plouffe is not starting on Friday versus the New York Yankees.
What It Means:
Brad Miller is in at designated hitter and Evan Longoria is healthy and active on third base, so Plouffe will grab a seat on the bench after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout on Thursday in the starting lineup. He's slashing .205/.268/.336 with 8 home runs in 250 plate appearances (77 games) this season.
numberFire's models project Plouffe to turn in a .229 batting average with 4 home runs in 146 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
