James McCann joining Mets' bench Monday

New York Mets catcher James McCann is not in the starting lineup in Monday's series opener against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

Tomas Nido will catch Taijuan Walker and hit seventh. McCann appears to be getting a routine breather.

numberFire’s models project Nido for 11.3 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Monday. He is our third-best point-per-dollar value among all hitters on tonight's slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Mets have an implied total of 3.6 runs.
