Daulton Varsho idle Thursday for Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder/catcher Daulton Varsho is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves.
What It Means:
Varsho had a six-game hitting streak come to an end on Wednesday and he's taking a breather Thursday afternoon. Carson Kelly is replacing Varsho behind the dish and hitting seventh.
numberFire’s models project Kelly for 8.5 FanDuel points and he has a $2,400 salary on Thursday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Diamondbacks have an implied total of 3.6 runs, the second-lowest total in the majors on Thursday. Morton is registering a 28.0 strikeout percentage and a 7.7 walk percentage this season, with a 3.40 xERA and a .283 xwOBA.
