Austin Meadows Sitting Against Lefty On Wednesday
4 years agoTampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows is absent from the starting lineup as the team faces lefty John Means and the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Kevin Kiermaier (wrist) was activated from the injured list prior to the game and is starting in center field with Randy Arozarena and Manuel Margot filling out the outfield. The left-handed Meadows has been heating up a bit lately with multiple hits in three of his past five games. However, he's still slashing just .108/.244/.216 against lefties on the year. Expect to see him back in the lineup against right-hander Dean Kremer on Thursday.
