New York Yankees infielder Andrew Velazquez is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Gleyber Torres is returning to the lineup to replace Velazquez at shortstop and hit fifth.
numberFire’s models project Torres for 9.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,900 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 4.4 runs. Berrios is registering a 25.8 strikeout percentage and a 6.1 walk percentage this season, with a 4.25 xERA and a .314 xwOBA.
