Mike Moustakas moving to Reds' bench Friday

Cincinnati Reds designated hitter Mike Moustakas is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

The Reds appear to be giving Moustakas a routine breather. Brandon Drury is taking over at DH in Friday's matinee while Donovan Solano starts on third base and bats sixth.

numberFire’s models project Drury for 9.8 FanDuel points on Friday, and he has a $3,500 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Reds' implied total (3.71) is 24th in the majors on Friday.
