William Contreras Not Starting Against Astros
2 years agoAtlanta Braves catcher William Contreras remains out of the starting lineup on Sunday against the Houston Astros. Contreras has started on the bench in three of the last four games for the Braves. The first-time All-Star hasn't been bad of late, though, hitting .270 (17-for-63) with three home runs, six RBI and eight runs scored in 16 games so far in the month of August. Overall, he's slashing .262/.338/.515 with an .853 OPS, 16 home runs, 32 RBI, 34 runs and two stolen bases in 233 at-bats. Travis d'Arnaud is doing the catching and hitting fifth on Sunday against Astros right-hander Jose Urquidy. d'Arnaud hasn't played much this month, but he's gone 9-for-24 (.375) with a homer and four RBI in eight games played.
