Grayson Greiner grabbing seat Tuesday for Tigers

Detroit Tigers catcher Grayson Greiner is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Garrett Richards and the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Eric Haase is catching for Wily Peralta and hitting sixth again while Greiner grabs a seat. Akil Baddoo is sliding over to left field as the Tigers' leadoff man and Derek Hill is returning to the lineup to bat ninth and play center field.

numberFire’s models project Haase for 10.8 FanDuel points and he has a $3,700 salary on Tuesday. Baddoo ($3,200) is projected for 12.3 FanDuel points. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Tigers have an implied total of 4.6 runs. Richards' xBA (.294) ranks in the bottom three percent of the league this season while his xwOBA (.373) and xERA (6.21) are in the bottom fifth percentile.
