Matt Joyce moves to Athletics' bench on Monday evening

Oakland Athletics outfielder Matt Joyce is not in Monday's lineup against the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Jake Smolinski will join Mark Canha and Chad Pinder in the Athletics' outfield while Joyce moves to the bench. He went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Baltimore Orioles but his overall slash stands at .198/.346/.349 through 31 games.

Joyce is averaging 6.6 FanDuel points per game this season. numberFire's models project him to hit .246 with 20 homers and 55 RBI over the rest of the year.
