Franmil Reyes on Guardians' bench Thursday afternoon

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Franmil Reyes is not in the starting lineup for Thursday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Chris Archer and the Minnesota Twins.

What It Means:

Reyes is out of the order for the second time in three games after he went 0-for-4 with an RBI and two strikeouts on Wednesday. Josh Naylor is taking over at designated hitter while Owen Miller replaces Reyes in the lineup to play first base and bat fifth. Naylor hit a walk-off two-run homer in the 10th inning on Wednesday night.

numberFire’s models project Miller for 8.9 FanDuel points on Thursday, and he has an $7,000 salary on the one-game afternoon slate. Naylor is projected for 12.4 FanDuel points with an $8,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Guardians’ implied total is 4.89 and they are -156 favorites.
