Pirates' Hoy Park sitting Wednesday afternoon
Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Hoy Park is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Luis Castillo and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
The Pirates appear to be giving Park a breather. Wilmer Difo is replacing Park on second base and batting sixth.
numberFire’s models project Difo for 7.0 FanDuel points and he has a $2,000 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Pirates have an implied total of 3.5 runs. Castillo is registering a 24.0 strikeout percentage and a 9.2 walk percentage this season, with a 3.58 xERA and a .290 xwOBA.
