New York Mets infielder Francisco Lindor is back in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Sandy Alcantara and the Miami Marlins.
Lindor is returning to shortstop and the three-hole after being held out of the previous lineup. Javier Baez is moving to second base and batting sixth. Jonathan Villar is on third base in place of an idle J.D. Davis.
numberFire’s models project Lindor for 9.1 FanDuel points and he has a $3,300 salary on Thursday’s slate. Alcantara is registering a 23.4 strikeout percentage and a 7.0 walk percentage this season, with a 3.44 xERA and a .285 xwOBA.
