Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Ian Desmond is not in the lineup Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds.
Desmond is getting the afternoon off for the Rockies in their series finale against the Reds. Ryan McMahon is taking over first base and hitting seventh against right-hander Tyler Mahle.
Our models project Desmond for a .257 batting average with 11 home runs, 46 runs scored, 42 RBI, and 12 steals over 372 plate appearances remaining this season.
