Patrick Kivlehan batting fifth for Cincinnati versus Yankees

Cincinnati Reds first baseman/outfielder Patrick Kivlehan is hitting fifth on Tuesday versus the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

It's a second consecutive start for Kivlehan, and the third in four nights, as he draws another nod in left field for Cincinnati. He finished 0-for-3 with a strikeout on Monday while hitting out of the eight-hole, but he'll move up a few spots to bat eighth against Yankees left-hander Jordan Montgomery.

numberFire's models project Kivlehan to score 7.4 FanDuel points at a cost of $2,200 on Tuesday. He's hitting .268 (11-for-41) versus southpaws this season, so the right-handed hitter could be worth using in the Yankees' batter-friendly ballpark (1.048 park factor).
