Tyler Naquin (hamstring) back in Reds' lineup Thursday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Freddy Peralta and the Milwaukee Brewers.

What It Means:

Naquin will bat cleanup and return to the outfield in place of Scott Heineman after missing the first two games of the series with a tight left hamstring.

numberFire’s models project Naquin for 8.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,900 salary on Thursday. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Reds have an implied total of 4.2 runs. Peralta brings a mixed bag for the Reds' lineup, as he has the best strikeout rate (36.9 percent) among Thursday's listed starters, but also the second-worst walk rate (10.8 percent).
