4 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is absent from Tuesday's lineup against left-hander Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. This looks to just be a routine day off for Tapia, which isn't a bad idea considering his lack of production against left-handed pitching. He's slashing .235/.278/.235 over 36 plate appearances against southpaws this season. Charlie Blackmon is in right field with Yonathan Daza getting the start in left for Colorado. Overall, Tapia is batting .284/.341/.392 with four home runs, 22 RBI, and five stolen bases across 148 at-bats.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller
