With his injury prone past, it is concerning to me that he's not in the game tonight. anyone know anything?

Don't panic... virtually everybody gets a breather, usually when they're facing a pitcher who's given them trouble in the past. It's a LONG SEASON, you don't want to wear the guys out... an extra days rest now and then allows the body to heal a bit. Fatigued players are morelikely to injure themselves too... My guess is, if he stays healthy, he'll sit 3 time a month minimum, maybe pinch hitting in those games, but that's it.
