Cubs' Alfonso Rivas sitting again Friday afternoon
Chicago Cubs first baseman Alfonso Rivas is not in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon's series finale against left-hander Rich Hill and the Boston Red Sox.
What It Means:
Rivas is on the bench for a second straight game after he had started the previous five. P.J. Higgins is starting on first base again and batting seventh in the series opener. Frank Schwindel (back) is still on the 10-day injured list without a timetable to return.
numberFire’s models project Higgins for 8.3 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $2,100 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs' implied total (3.78) is 23rd in the majors on Friday.
