Athletics manager Bob Melvin kept outfielder Yoenis Cespedes and his struggling bat out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game in Baltimore, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
"He's having a tough time right now," Melvin said Cespedes, who has gone just 4 for 26 (.154) over his last six games with 10 strikeouts.
Melvin believes Cespedes' struggle stem from a combination of how he's being pitched and his approach at the plate. He's been a little aggressive swinging at pitches out of the zone, according to the skipper.
