Willson Contreras out of the Cubs' lineup on Wednesday afternoon
Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is not starting versus the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.
Contreras is working with the same batting average he finished with last season at .276, but the 26-year-old's slugging percentage has fallen to .443 from .499, as he's hit just 4 home runs across 243 plate appearances (PA). For perspective, Contreras cranked 21 taters in 428 PA in 2018. Chris Gimenez will handle catching duties for the Cubs in Wednesday's series finale.
Contreras is averaging 9.5 FanDuel points in 56 games this season. numberFire's models project him to hit .275 with 11 homers and 42 RBI over the rest of the year.
