Frank Schwindel sitting Thursday afternoon for Cubs
Chicago Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Joe Musgrove and the San Diego Padres.
What It Means:
The Cubs are giving Schwindel a breather following 33 consecutive starts. Patrick Wisdom is moving to first base and batting cleanup while Jason Heyward replaces Schwindel in the lineup to play right field and bat eighth.
Per numberFire's MLB Heat Map, the Cubs have the eighth-highest implied total (4.68) out of the 18 teams playing Thursday. Wisdom has a $3,000 salary and our models project him for 9.9 FanDuel points.
