Mitch Garver Back In The Lineup Versus Lefty
1 year agoTexas Rangers catcher/designated hitter Mitch Garver is back in the starting lineup Monday night against Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd. Garver didn't start Sunday's series finale against the Yankees but returns on Monday aiming to do what he does best: rake left-handed pitching. The former Twins backstop has clobbered lefties to the tune of a .385 average with three doubles and a 1.115 OPS in a small 16 plate-appearance sample this season while he owns an impressive .882 OPS and .371wOBA in his career against southpaw pitching. Finally, he has also enjoyed plenty of success against Boyd, hitting .333 with a double, a triple, two home runs, and a 1.377 OPS against the Tigers veteran across 18 trips to the plate.
