Baltimore Orioles infielder Ruben Tejada is not starting on Tuesday against the Kansas City Royals.
Tejada's playing time may take a hit moving forward following Monday's deadline acquisition of Tim Beckham from the Tampa Bay Rays. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .230/.293/.283 across 124 plate appearances (39 games) this season.
numberFire's models project Tejada to turn in a .210 batting average over 90 plate appearances for the remainder of the year.
