Rockies' Ian Desmond on the bench for Wild Card meeting with the Diamondbacks

Colorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond is not in the lineup against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Wild Card Game on Wednesday.

What It Means:

Desmond drew most of his starts at first base and in left field in the regular season, but he'll be on the bench today while Gerardo Parra starts in left field and Mark Reynolds mans first.

Desmond slashed .274/.326/.375 with a weak .305 wOAB over 373 plate appearances in the regular season. He added 7 home runs, 47 runs scored, 40 RBI and 15 stolen bases in his 95 games.
