Jeff Mathis sitting out Tuesday for Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Jeff Mathis is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers.

What It Means:

Mathis got the start on Monday night in the first game of the series, but he was just 0-for-2 with a walk. Alex Avila is taking over behind the plate and batting seventh against Jhoulys Chacin on Tuesday.

Our models project Mathis for a .207 batting average with 2 home runs, 11 runs scored, and 11 RBI over 131 plate appearances remaining this season.
