Jordy Mercer on Pittsburgh's bench on Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jordy Mercer is not starting on Monday versus the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
Sean Rodriguez earned the starting nod with his walk-off shot in the 12th inning over the San Diego Padres on Monday night. It's likely just a breather for Mercer, who is slashing .257/.334/.409 with 10 home runs and 44 RBI in 413 plate appearances (106 games) this season.
numberFire's models project Mercer to turn in a .268 batting average with 4 home runs and 21 RBI in 184 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
