Sam Hilliard on Rockies' sidelines Wednesday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Sam Hilliard is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against left-hander Konnor Pilkington and the Cleveland Guardians.

What It Means:

Hilliard filled in for Connor Joe in Tuesday's series opener, but he's back on the bench for Wednesday's tilt. Joe is starting in left field and batting leadoff. Charlie Blackmon is batting second after covering leadoff duties last game.

numberFire’s models project Joe for 11.3 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $3,200 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Rockies' implied total (6.09) is tied for the highest in the majors on Wednesday.
