Clint Barmes News: Barmes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Barmes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

Barmes was expected to lose some of his playing time to Jordy Mercer but has still started five of the past six games. A more even split of the workload seems likely going forward, though Barmes is still expected to start more often than not.
