Marlins' Adeiny Hechavarria: Out of Saturday's lineup

Hechavarria is not in Saturday's lineup against the Nationals, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.

Analysis:

The Marlins are resting more than half of their regulars as they play out the string. Miguel Rojas will start at shortstop and hit second in his stead. Hechavarria's age-27 season was his worst offensive campaign since his first full season in the big leagues in 2013. A .271 BABIP can be blamed for a good chunk of his regression, as he actually had a career-best walk rate (6.1 percent) and a career-low strikeout rate (13.4 percent) in 2016.
