Jhonkensy Noel News: Sits against lefty Friday

Noel was held out of Friday's starting lineup against Houston left-hander Colton Gordon.

Noel, who has been the short side of a platoon in right field all season, found himself on the bench Friday while the left-handed-hitting Nolan Jones started instead. Noel is batting .109 (5-for-46) over 22 games since May 1 and is at .149 for the season.
