San Diego Padres catcher Jorge Alfaro is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Kyle Gibson and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Austin Nola is replacing Alfaro at catcher and hitting ninth.
Nola is currently numberFire's lowest-projected hitter on Thursday (6.3 FanDuel points) and he has a $2,600 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Padres have the sixth-lowest implied total (3.90) out of the 16 teams playing on Thursday.
