Kevin Newman back in Pirates' lineup Monday
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Kevin Newman is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener versus right-hander Kevin Gausman and the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
Newman is playing shortstop and leading off the order after being held out of Sunday's lineup, though he did draw a pinch-hit walk in the 5-2 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Jung Ho Kang is on the hot corner Monday while Colin Moran covers second base for Adam Frazier.
numberFire's models expect Newman to score 9.3 FanDuel points on Monday. He's priced at $2,600.
