Cesar Hernandez sitting Wednesday for White Sox
Chicago White Sox infielder Cesar Hernandez is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against right-hander Sonny Gray and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Hernandez is heading to the bench after starting the last two games and four of the last five. Adam Engel is returning to the lineup to play right field and hit ninth after missing the previous five contests with a leg injury. Leury Garcia is moving to second base in place of Hernandez.
numberFire’s models project Engel for 10.0 FanDuel points and he has a $2,500 salary on Wednesday’s slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the White Sox have an implied total of 4.3 runs. Gray is registering an xwOBA that ranks in the top 15% of the league this season, with a 26.9 strikeout percentage and an 8.7 walk percentage.
