Matt Duffy idle Tuesday for Cubs
Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Duffy is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
This is only the second time Duffy has been held out of the lineup in the last eight games, though two absences have now come in the last four. Patrick Wisdom is shifting to third base Tuesday in place of Duffy and hitting cleanup. Ian Happ is entering the lineup to play left field and bat third.
numberFire’s models project Wisdom for 14.6 FanDuel points and he has a $3,300 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Happ is projected for 11.9 FanDuel points and has a $2,600 salary.
