Matt Kemp

Matt Kemp absent from Atlanta's lineup on Sunday afternoon

Atlanta Braves outfielder Matt Kemp is not starting on Sunday against the Miami Marlins.

What It Means:

It's likely just a breather for Kemp, who is batting .282/.324/.471 with 18 home runs and 58 RBI in 106 games this season. Nick Markakis will start in right field and bat cleanup for the Braves in Sunday's series finale.

numberFire's models project Kemp for a .266 batting average with 3 home runs, 10 RBI, and 8 runs scored in 69 plate appearances over the remainder of the year.
