Lars Nootbaar Not in Lineup on Saturday
Lars Nootbaar isn't in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers. Alec Burleson will take his place in left field and hit third versus right-hander Chad Patrick, while Nolan Gorman will play first base and bat sixth. This has been a rough September for Nootbaar, who has struggled to a .222/.290/.328 line with one extra-base hit (a double), four RBI, and 10:5 K:BB in 16 games. The 28-year-old has offered better production than that this season, though he has still hit a mediocre .237/.325/.368 with 13 homers, 48 RBI, 66 runs scored, and four steals over 557 plate appearances.
