Blake Perkins News: Sitting against lefty

Perkins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The switch-hitting Perkins will head to the bench for a fourth straight matchup versus a left-handed starting pitcher (Robbie Ray), paving the way for the right-handed-hitting Brandon Lockridge to pick up a start in center field. Perkins and Lockridge are likely to form a platoon at the position until Jackson Chourio (hamstring) is ready to return from the injured list.
