Sean Murphy sitting Thursday afternoon for Athletics
Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's afternoon against right-hander Beau Brieske and the Detroit Tigers.
What It Means:
Murphy started the past five games for Oakland, including four behind the plate, but he's taking a breather on Thursday afternoon. Christian Bethancourt is shifting to catching duties while Seth Brown enters the lineup to bat cleanup and play first base.
numberFire’s models project Bethancourt for 8.9 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $2,200 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics have an implied total of 3.68 on Thursday.
