Chad Pinder not in Tuesday's starting lineup for the Athletics

Oakland Athletics infielder Chad Pinder is not in the starting lineup against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

What It Means:

Pinder started at second base in place of Jed Lowrie on Monday, but with Lowrie back in the lineup tonight Pinder returns to the bench.

Pinder has posted a .324 wOBA through 58 games in 2017, and numberFire's models project him to bat .235 and add 8 RBI in 74 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
