Isiah Kiner-Falefa resting Tuesday for Rangers
Texas Rangers infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against right-hander Zac Gallen and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
What It Means:
The Rangers appear to be giving Kiner-Falefa a rare breather. Yonny Hernandez is covering shortstop and hitting second while Charlie Culberson enters the lineup to play third base and bat eighth.
numberFire’s models project Hernandez for 10.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Tuesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rangers have an implied total of 3.9 runs. Gallen is registering a 26.7 strikeout percentage and a 10.3 walk percentage this season, with a 3.79 xERA and a .298 xwOBA.
