Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Eric Thames is not in the lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Even with a righty on the hill for the Pirates, Thames is getting the afternoon off after starting at first Tuesday night. He is 0-for-9 with 5 strikeouts lifetime against Pirates' starter Gerrit Cole, so Jesus Aguilar is starting at first and hitting fifth on Wednesday.
Our models project Thames for a .250 batting average, with 7 home runs, 22 RBI, and 21 runs scored over 162 plate appearances remaining this season.
