Austin Meadows hitting second Friday afternoon in Tigers debut

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows is starting in left field and hitting second on Friday afternoon versus right-hander Lucas Giolito and the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

The Tigers acquired Meadows from the Tampa Bay Rays earlier this week. He is following Robbie Grossman in the order while Akil Baddoo works out of the seven-hole. Detroit's full lineup for their start of the season: Grossman RF, Meadows LF, Javier Baez SS, Jeimer Candelario 3B, Miguel Cabrera DH, Baddoo CF, Spencer Torkelson 1B, Tucker Barnhart C. Eduardo Rodriguez is toeing the rubber for the Tigers.

numberFire's models project Meadows for 11.1 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $3,100 salary.
