Leury Garcia (thumb) starting for White Sox versus Athletics in playoff opener
Chicago White Sox outfielder Leury Garcia (thumb) is in the starting lineup on Tuesday for Game 1 of the Wild Card Round versus left-hander Jesus Luzardo and the Oakland Athletics.
What It Means:
Garcia will replace Adam Engel in left field and hit eighth in his first game since August 10 because of left thumb sprain that required surgery. He hit .271/.317/.441 over 63 plate appearances during the regular season.
numberFire's models expect Garcia to score 6.7 FanDuel points on Tuesday with a salary of $2,700. Per our MLB Heat Map, the White Sox currently have an implied total of 3.9 runs.
