Brian McCann getting Tuesday night off as Astros host Rays

Houston Astros catcher Brian McCann is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Max Stassi is taking over catching duties on Tuesday, so McCann will head to the bench with the Rays starting a southpaw. Stassi is batting seventh versus Blake Snell.

Our models project McCann for a .245 batting average with 8 home runs, 24 runs scored, and 29 RBI over 215 plate appearances remaining this season.
