Robinson Chirinos on Houston's bench against Athletics

Houston Astros catcher Robinson Chirinos is not starting in Sunday's series finale versus right-hander Mike Fiers and the Oakland Athletics.

What It Means:

Max Stassi is catching Brad Peacock in place of Chirinos and batting eighth. Tony Kemp is playing designated hitter out of the nine-hole while George Springer returns to center field and Jake Marisnick grabs a seat on the bench.

numberFire's models expect Chirinos to bat .224 with 16 home runs and 50 RBI over the rest of the season.
