Lovullo: Pollock needs rest
The past week has not been a productive one at the plate for A.J. Pollock, but manager Torey Lovullo says production played no part in his decision to leave the Diamondbacks’ center fielder out of the lineup on Saturday night.
In the past six games, Pollock is 2 for 27 with no walks and six strikeouts, but Lovullo said the day off is all about keeping Pollock fresh, the same reason he gave when he had Pollock on the bench last weekend.
