Andres Gimenez Out Vs. Phillies
Andres Gimenez will not be in Thursday's lineup for their home outing against the Philadelphia Phillies. It's just a day of rest for the 26-year-old, who had started the previous two contests after returning from a near-month-long stay on the injured list due to a quadriceps strain. Teammate Davis Schneider is manning second base and batting sixth in his absence. Gimenez hasn't been very good this season -- batting an ugly .201 (27-for-134) in 38 contests -- but he appeared to be heating up before his trip to the injured list with a hit in five straight games. Furthermore, he hasn't struck out in eight consecutive appearances. He's likely to be back in the starting nine for their series opener against the Minnesota Twins on Friday.
