Matt Duffy moving to Cubs' bench Wednesday
Chicago Cubs infielder Matt Duffy is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez and the Cincinnati Reds.
The Cubs appear to be giving Duffy a routine breather. Patrick Wisdom is moving to third base in place of Duffy and hitting fifth. Jason Heyward is returning to the lineup to play right field and hit sixth.
numberFire’s models project Wisdom for 13.2 FanDuel points and he has a $3,200 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 4.4 runs. Gutierrez is registering a 17.9 strikeout percentage and an 8.5 walk percentage this season, with a 4.34 xERA and a .317 xwOBA.
