Robinson Chirinos sitting for Cubs versus Phillies

Chicago Cubs catcher Robinson Chirinos is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Philadelphia Phillies.

What It Means:

Chirinos went 1-for-4 with a two-run dinger as a starter on Wednesday. Willson Contreras is starting at catcher over Chirinos and hitting cleanup Thursday night.

numberFire’s models project Contreras for 12.8 FanDuel points and he has a $2,700 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have an implied total of 4.1 runs.
