Sean Murphy sitting for Athletics against Blue Jays
Oakland Athletics catcher Sean Murphy is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's series finale against right-hander Jose Berrios and the Toronto Blue Jays.
Stephen Vogt is starting at catcher over Murphy and hitting fifth. The Athletics appear to be giving Murphy a routine breather after six straight starts.
numberFire’s models project Vogt for 9.0 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,000 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Athletics' implied total (3.45) is 22nd out of 28 active teams.
