Rockies' DJ LeMahieu: Not in Saturday's lineup

LeMahieu is out of the lineup Saturday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of SB Nation reports.

Analysis:

It's not often one sees a healthy .349 hitter sit when they would have the platoon advantage, but LeMahieu hasn't had a day off in more than a month. Further, his 13-game hitting streak ended Friday and he's just 9-for-37 against Saturday's starter Clayton Kershaw. Patrick Valaika will get the nod at second base in LeMahieu's absence.
