Taking seat against southpaw
Mayer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Analyse
With a left-hander (Eric Lauer) on the hill for Toronto, the left-handed-hitting Mayer will bow out of the lineup for the series finale. He'll be replaced in the starting nine by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who will man second base and bat eighth.

Bat coming around
Mayer went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-0 win over Toronto.
Analyse
Mayer's bat has come around over the last week. His batting average stood at .173 through the first 18 games played, but he's up to .243 with an 8-for-18 stretch that includes three doubles and four RBI over the last seven contests. All of his starts have come against right-handers, but interim manager Chad Tracy said Monday that he's open to giving Mayer opportunities against left-handers, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
