Robert Hassell News: Sitting against southpaw

Hassell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

With southpaw Sean Manaea starting for the Mets, the left-handed-hitting Hassell will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Right-hander Clay Holmes is expected to piggyback Manaea at some point during the contest, so Hassell could be a candidate to replace center fielder Jacob Young once Holmes takes over.
