But if the kid is healthy enough to play a midweek game , let’s run him out there.

He probably wouldn’t even be here If the draft hadn’t been but 5 rounds last year..

He can’t be any worse..
If it were me, I would start Clark today at 1B and on Sunday let Tanner Allen play 1B and give either Kyte or Cumbest a shot in RF. I know Kyte's success has come against poor competition but I would run him or Cumbest out there.

Hatcher needs multiple days off. When you are doing this poorly, one day doesn't fix much. You need multiple days of focusing only on your swing to correct yourself. He doesn't need a message sent. He's past that right now with his .196 average. He needs help making better contact and seeing the ball better. That's not a one day fix. That's a much longer process. Kid needs a break from the game part of baseball.
