Indians' Austin Hedges out of lineup Wednesday

Cleveland Indians catcher Austin Hedges will not start in Wednesday afternoon's interleague matchup with right-hander Zach Davies and the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Rene Rivera will start at catcher over Hedges and hit eighth. Sam Hentges will be on the hill for the Indians.

numberFire’s models project Rivera for 8.2 FanDuel points and he has a $2,100 salary on Wednesday. Per our MLB Heat Map, Davies owns the second-lowest strikeout percentage (12.3) and third-highest walk percentage (13.0) out of Wednesday's listed starters.
