Dee Strange-Gordon sitting Monday for Nationals

Washington Nationals infielder Dee Strange-Gordon is not in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against left-hander Tyler Anderson and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

Gordon is taking a seat after starting the previous two games. Alcides Escobar, who was scratched from Saturday's lineup and remained out Sunday, is replacing Gordon at shortstop and hitting ninth.

numberFire’s models project Escobar for 9.2 FanDuel points on Monday, and he has a $2,100 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Nationals are +188 underdogs against the Dodgers.
