Cubs' Frank Schwindel sitting Thursday afternoon

Chicago Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Kyle Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs.

What It Means:

Schwindel is taking a seat after his eight-game hitting streak came to an end on Wednesday. Patrick Wisdom is replacing Schwindel on first base and batting third in Thursday's matinee. Ian Happ is hopping down a spot to hit cleanup, followed by David Bote and Andrew Romine.

numberFire’s models project Wisdom for 11.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,900 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have the third-lowest implied total (3.5 runs) in the majors on Thursday. Woodruff is registering a 30.1 strikeout percentage with a 6.2 walk percentage this season.
