Willson Contreras Sitting Wednesday
7 years agoChicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is sitting Wednesday. Chris Gimenez will be behind the dish and is hitting eighth versus right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. Contreras has had a bit of a disappointing power season, and while his May was very productive, he has just a .355 slugging percentage in June. With a day off Thursday as well, Contreras should be well rested as the Cubs travel to St. Louis to take on the rival Cardinals. His average and on-base percentage have been increasing as the season has gone on, so hopefully the two days of rest can help him get his power back.
