Buster Posey getting Monday off for Giants
San Francisco Giants catcher/first baseman Buster Posey will receive Monday off against the Milwaukee Brewers, reports Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle.
It's just a maintenance day for Posey. He was hit by a pitch on Sunday and involved in a hard tag play at the plate, but the 30-year-old backstop says there's nothing to worry about. Nick Hundley is expected to draw the start behind the plate on Monday for San Francisco.
Posey is slashing .321/.410/.477 with 12 dingers and 53 RBI in 454 plate appearances (111 games) this season. numberFire's models project him to record a .295 batting average with 3 home runs, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored, and 2 steals in 144 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
