Tyler Naquin taking seat Thursday afternoon for Cincinnati
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Tyler Naquin is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs.
What It Means:
The Reds are holding the lefty-hitting Naquin out of the lineup against the Cubs' southpaw. Tommy Pham is shifting into the designated hitter role while Albert Almora replaces Naquin in left field and hits eighth. Aristides Aquino is starting in right and Nick Senzel is in center field.
numberFire’s models project Almora for 7.8 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $2,300 salary on the All Day slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, the park factor in the Reds-Cubs game is third-strongest for hitters out of the 11 games being played.
