Eduardo Escobar sitting for Diamondbacks on Thursday
Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eduardo Escobar is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against left-hander Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
What It Means:
Escobar will sit after going 0-for-5 with a whiff on Wednesday. His batting average is on pace to be below .200 for the first time in Escobar's career. The veteran's OPS (.614) is an eight-year low. Andy Young will cover second base on Thursday and bat seventh.
numberFire's models expect Young to score 9.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. He costs $2,400. The Diamondbacks have the lowest implied total (3.24 runs) on Thursday's slate, according to our MLB Heat Map.
