Cincinnati Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
After going 4-for-14 in three straight starts behind the plate, Barnhart will take a breather this afternoon. Tony Cruz will be behind the plate and hit eighth for Cincinnati.
Our models project Barnhart to hit .264 with 6 homers and 33 RBI over the rest of the season.
