Braves' A.J. Pierzynski: Out of Sunday's lineup

Pierzynski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

The 39-year-old catcher will have another day off as Anthony Recker gets the nod to start. In recent contests, the club has been opting to start Recker over Pierzynski, as Recker has been fantastic at the plate and owns a .349/.442/.535 line since the All-Star break.
