Brett Phillips on Rays' bench against Astros

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Brett Phillips is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against right-hander Lance McCullers and the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Randy Arozarena is returning to the lineup to replace Phillips in right field and hit second. Wander Franco is hitting third and he is followed by Nelson Cruz in the cleanup spot.

Arozarena has a $3,300 salary on Thursday and numberFire's models project him for 10.9 FanDuel points. McCullers is registering a 27.3 strikeout percentage and an 11.3 walk percentage this season, with an xSLG and xISO that both rank in the top 10% of the league.
