Per Steve Gilbert at mlb.com, Mark Reynolds, third baseman of the Diamondbacks was given a night off Sunday after hitting 5 home runs in the previous 6 games.
"I know physically he could use a day off or at least a start off," said A. J. Hinch, manager of the Diamondbacks.
"It's a good time to give him some blow," Hinch said. "He's played every game since the All-Star Game, he's diving into the stands, rolling over tarps, been playing with a sore top hand."
The guy has 5 home runs in his last 6 games! I am far removed from that situation but I really don't think that top hand has been much of a problem for him.
A.J. Hinch, who has been a major league manager for all of 76 games has apparently used all of that accumulated knowledge in deciding to sit this guy down.
Cool the engines. That always works.
