Billy Burns is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

Burns is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers.

Analysis:

Burns has played in 10 straight games and has stolen just one base over that span. Burns is in something of a time-share with Coco Crisp, who slides over to center field while Billy Butler replaces Crisp at DH. Burns is hitting .269 on the season, but his .310 OBP leaves something to be desired out of a leadoff man.
