Phillies' Darick Hall hitting cleanup in MLB debut

Philadelphia Phillies infielder Darick Hall is in the starting lineup on Wednesday against right-hander Kyle Wright and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

The Phillies called up Hall from Triple-A Lehigh Valley ahead of Wednesday's game, and he will be the designated hitter and cleanup batter in his MLB debut. Bryce Harper's thumb injury should free up consistent playing time for Hall if he performs well. Nick Castellanos is starting in right field on Wednesday over Odubel Herrera.

numberFire’s models project Castellanos for 9.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,800 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Phillies’ implied total (4.21) is 17th in the majors on Wednesday. Hall slashed .269/.346/.548 with 20 home runs, 67 RBI, 47 runs and 5 stolen bases across 315 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season.
