Erik Gonzalez on Pirates' bench Friday in Game 1
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Erik Gonzalez will not start in the first game of Friday's doubleheader versus right-hander Carlos Martinez and the St. Louis Cardinals.
What It Means:
Kevin Newman will shift to shortstop in place of Gonzalez and hit sixth after going 2-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's win. J.T. Riddle will enter the lineup in center field and hit seventh while Bryan Reynolds moves up a spot and hits fifth.
numberFire's models expect Reynolds to score 6.5 FanDuel points on Friday in Game 1 with a salary of $2,500. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates currently have an implied total of 3.11 runs.
