Chris Iannetta on the bench Thursday for Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Chris Iannetta is not starting on Thursday against the Houston Astros.
What It Means:
Iannetta will grab a seat on the bench after starting the past two games behind the dish for the Diamondbacks. Jeff Mathis will get the nod instead. The 34-year-old backstop is slashing .228/.317/.489 with 11 home runs and 29 RBI in 61 games this season.
numberFire's models project Iannetta to record a .224 batting average with 3 more dingers in 77 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
