Brent Rooker on Athletics bench Wednesday afternoon
Oakland Athletics designated hitter Brent Rooker is not in the lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Quinn Priester and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means
The Athletics appear to be giving Rooker a breather after he started the last 11 games. Shea Langeliers will shift to designated hitter and cleanup duty on Wednesday, while Kyle McCann will catch for Ross Stripling and bat seventh.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have one of the worst implied totals (3.73) in the majors today.
