Christian Walker starting for Diamondbacks against Marlins
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker will start in Monday's series opener against the Miami Marlins.
What It Means:
Walker will return to first base and bat fifth after being held out of Sunday's lineup. He has hit safely in each start since being activated from the injured list a week ago. Pavin Smith will bat leadoff again and shift to right field in place of a resting Josh Rojas.
numberFire’s models project Walker for 10.6 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Monday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks-Marlins game has the strongest park factor for batters out of the five games being played.
