You have to give your regulars days off, especially in the dog days of the season. It's good to get them a mental refresh and they tend to play better a day off. The Braves have a big lead in the division and they are only playing the Phillies. For a contending team, one guy shouldn't make that much of a difference. In the first three games of the Cubs series, the Dodgers have rested every regular on the team at least one game except for Puig. It also gives more playing time to the bench players which makes them feel more part of the team.
