Eric Hosmer starting at designated hitter for Cubs on Tuesday

Chicago Cubs first baseman Eric Hosmer is batting eighth in Tuesday's contest versus the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Hosmer will operate as Chicago's designated hitter after Ian Happ was positioned in left field, Christopher Morel was shifted to center, and Cody Bellinger was rested.

In a lefty against righty matchup versus Cristian Javier, our models project Hosmer to record 7.5 FanDuel points at the salary of $2,300.
