Braves' Jace Peterson: Held out of lineup Monday

Peterson is out of the lineup Monday against the Pirates.

Analysis:

Peterson had started in each of the Braves' previous seven games, but his run of regular at-bats could come to an end now that the team has added Matt Adams via trade and called up Rio Ruiz to serve as the primary options at the corner-infield spots. The 26-year-old is slashing .200/.308/.267 over 104 plate appearances this season, so he likely wouldn't have had a steady hold on a full-time gig even if the Braves chose not to make those roster moves.
