Ben Gamel in Pirates' lineup Wednesday for first time

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ben Gamel will start in Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Sonny Gray and the Cincinnati Reds.

Gamel will play center field and bat seventh in his first start for the Pirates since being claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Indians over the weekend. Bryan Reynolds appears to be getting a rest day.

numberFire’s models project Gamel for 7.4 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates have an implied total of 3.2 runs. Gray owns the third-highest strikeout rate (34.4 percent) among Wednesday's listed starters.
