Blue Jays' Reese McGuire on bench Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Reese McGuire is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against rookie right-hander Luis Gil and the New York Yankees.

What It Means:

Danny Jansen is starting at catcher over McGuire and hitting ninth. Alejandro Kirk is in the designated hitter role for a second straight game.

numberFire’s models project Jansen for 8.1 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Blue Jays have an implied total of 4.9 runs. Through Gil's first 15 2/3 innings in the majors, the right-hander is registering a 28.1 strikeout percentage and a 10.9 walk percentage this season, with a 2.36 xERA and a .236 xwOBA.
