Gunnar Henderson Taking A Seat Wednesday
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson (back) is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez. The 22-year-old departed Tuesday's contest late with lower back discomfort, but it's likely he was going to start this one on the bench regardless considering he is hitting just .206 with two extra-base hits across 84 plate appearances versus left-handed pitching this season. He sure has had his way with righties, however, as he owns an .850 OPS against them with 15 homers, 11 doubles, and five triples across 273 trips to the plate. Jorge Mateo will return to shortstop and hit eighth Wednesday night in Philadelphia.
