Rockies' DJ LeMahieu: Out of Saturday's lineup
LeMahieu is out of the lineup Saturday against the Brewers, MLB.com's Thomas Harding reports.
Analysis:
He has just two at-bats in the last three games, as the Rockies are intent on getting LeMahieu the NL batting title. His batting average sits at .348 while Daniel Murphy's is at .347, and considering Murphy won't return until the postseason, it's plausible that LeMahieu won't receive another plate appearance this year in order to make sure he gets the batting crown. Daniel Descalso will start at the keystone and hit second.
