Astros scratch Cristian Javier (neck) Sunday; Hunter Brown to start
The Houston Astros scratched Cristian Javier (neck) from their lineup for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals.
What It Means:
Javier was slated to start this afternoon's game, but will now take the day off due to neck soreness. The Astros will tap Hunter Brown for a start instead.
Brown is projected for 24.4 FanDuel points and has a $6,300 salary for this afternoon's contests. Our model has him pitching 5.5 innings with 5.2 strikeouts and 3.6 earned runs in this plus matchup.
