Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Jacob Stallings is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Luis Castillo and the Cincinnati Reds.
Michael Perez will replace Stallings at catcher and hit eighth. Stallings managed to draw a pair of walks over the last three games but he failed to come up with a hit.
numberFire’s models project Perez for 5.2 FanDuel points versus the Reds and he has a salary of $2,000 on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates have an implied total of 3.3 runs versus Castillo and the Reds.
