Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Jonathan Villar is not starting on Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds.
It's likely just a maintenance day for Villar, who has posted a sizzling .393/.413/.590 slash with 3 home runs, 3 doubles, 7 RBI, 8 runs scored, and 3 steals over his past 18 games played. Keon Broxton will start in center field and bat seventh versus Reds right-hander Luis Castillo.
numberFire's models project Villar to record a .254 batting average with 2 home runs, 7 RBI, 9 runs scored, and 4 steals in 70 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
