Tyler Flowers is sitting out Friday for Braves

Atlanta Braves catcher Tyler Flowers is not in the lineup on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Flowers got the start on Thursday for the first time since September 13 after battling a hand issue, but he'll sit out Friday. Kurt Suzuki is behind the plate and hitting fifth against right-hander Ben Lively.

Our models project Flowers to post a .250 batting average, with 1 home run, 3 RBI, and 2 runs scored over 22 plate appearances remaining this season.
