Yoshi Tsutsugo sitting Thursday for Tampa Bay

Tampa Bay Rays utility player Yoshi Tsutsugo is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Jordan Lyles and the Texas Rangers.

What It Means:

Tsutsugo is 6-for-38 (.158) with 16 strikeouts to start the season. Austin Meadows will serve as the Rays' designated hitter Thursday and Manuel Margot will move to left field while Brett Phillips makes the start in center. Phillips will hit ninth.

Meadows has a salary of $3,600 on Thursday and numberFire's models expect him to score 11.8 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rays have an implied total of 4.5 runs.
