Miami Marlins third baseman Derek Dietrich is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants.
Mike Aviles is getting a turn over at the hot corner Tuesday in order to spell Dietrich. The Marlins' starting third baseman has been swinging a good bat in the month of August, slashing .295/.392/.523 over 51 plate appearances this month.
Our models project Dietrich for a .263 batting average, with 2 home runs, 14 RBI, and 12 runs scored over 124 plate appearances remaining this season.
