Josh Donaldson out of Blue Jays' lineup Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson is out of the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

Jimmy Paredes will start at third base and bat sixth against Tampa Bay right-hander Jake Odorizzi. It's just a day of rest for Donaldson, who managed to avoid a suspension when punishments were handed down Wednesday following Sunday's benches-clearing brawl with the Texas Rangers. Jose Bautista is batting second on Wednesday.

Donaldson is slashing .253/.355/.500 with 9 home runs and a .367 wOBA in 183 plate appearances this season. Our models currently project him to hit .280/.378/.530 with 26 home runs and a .387 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
