Gary Sanchez sitting Monday for Yankees
New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez is not in the starting lineup for Monday afternoon's game against right-hander John Gant and the Minnesota Twins.
What It Means:
Sanchez is taking a seat for the second time in three games amid a 1-for-17 slump. Kyle Higashioka is catching Luis Gil and hitting ninth.
numberFire’s models project Higgy for 9.4 FanDuel points and he has a $4,000 salary on Monday afternoon’s one-game slate, making him our top point-per-dollar value among active hitters in the contest. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Yankees have an implied total of 5.7 runs. Gant is registering a 19.5 strikeout percentage and a 14.6 walk percentage (bottom 3% of the league) this season, with a 5.12 xERA and a .341 xwOBA.
