Cardinals' Conner Capel sitting Wednesday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Conner Capel is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against left-hander Max Fried and the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

The Cardinals are holding the lefty-hitting Capel out of the order against Atlanta's southpaw. Brendan Donovan is rolling over to right field in place of Capel and hitting eighth while Juan Yepez shifts to left and hits fifth. Albert Pujols is replacing Capel in the lineup as the designated hitter and No. 6 batter.

numberFire’s models project Pujols for 8.5 FanDuel points on Wednesday, and he has a $2,100 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cardinals' implied total (4.01) is 19th out of 28 active teams.
