Bruce Maxwell

Oakland's Bruce Maxwell is sitting on Wednesday

Oakland Athletics catcher Bruce Maxwell is sitting ahead of Wednesday's game against the Kansas City Royals.

What It Means:

Maxwell has been the team's primary catcher of late and has started five straight games as such. However, he'll take a routine day off as Dustin Garneau provides his knees with a rest Wednesday afternoon.

numberFire's algorithms project Maxwell for 1 home run, 6 RBI and a .233 average over 69 plate appearances the rest of the 2017 season.
