Matt Adams

Matt Adams will not play left for Braves' series in Colorado

The Atlanta Braves will not start first baseman/outfielder Matt Adams in left field for the team's road series against the Colorado Rockies.

What It Means:

Atlanta thinks that there's just too much ground to cover in the Colorado outfield, so reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's David O'Brien. That means that, while Danny Santana and Lane Adams start in left for now, Adams is only likely to see a start at first if anything.

numberFire's models project Adams for 5 home runs, 18 RBI and a .268 average in 121 plate appearances the rest of the way this season.
