Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith sitting Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman/outfielder Pavin Smith is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday versus left-hander Wes Benjamin and the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Smith has gone 9-for-29 (.310) through his first eight games in the pros. Christian Walker will shift to first base in place of Smith on Wednesday. Eduardo Escobar will man second base and bat cleanup while Wyatt Mathisen makes a start on third and hits second.

numberFire's models expect Mathisen to score 3.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday with a salary of $2,000. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks currently have an implied total of 5.2 runs.
