Boog Powell out of the Athletics' lineup on Thursday

Oakland Athletics outfielder Boog Powell is out of the starting lineup for Thursday's road game against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Powell and Mark Canha have alternated starts in center field over the A's last five games, and with Powell having started on Wednesday, he'll head to the bench while Canha gets the nod this afternoon.

Powell is slashing .279/.362/.396 with a .333 wOBA, 3 home runs and 11 RBI through 49 games in his first big league season. numberFire's models project him to bat .214 while adding another 1 RBI in 16 plate appearances over the remainder of the season.
