Cubs' P.J. Higgins sitting Thursday afternoon
Chicago Cubs catcher P.J. Higgins is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Hunter Greene and the Cincinnati Reds.
What It Means:
Higgins started the last two games and three of the last four while Willson Contreras (hamstring) was sidelined. Contreras is back in action on Thursday, sending Higgins to the bench.
numberFire’s models project Contreras for 13.5 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has a $3,600 salary on the All Day slate. Per our MLB Heat Map, Greene has the worst walk rate (12.3%) among Thursday's 22 listed starters.
