Venable is out of the lineup Monday against the Rockies. Venable will take a seat with lefty Tyler Matzek on the mound, ending a run of four straight starts. He's been largely a disappointing coming off of a 20-20 campaign a year earlier, which could hamper his chances of winning an Opening Day starting job in 2015. His chief competition for that role might be the up-and-coming Rymer Liriano, who will spell Venable in right field on Monday.
