Andrelton Simmons sitting for Cubs against Orioles

Chicago Cubs infielder Andrelton Simmons is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against right-hander Jordan Lyles and the Baltimore Orioles.

What It Means:

David Bote will shift to second base in place of Simmons and hit ninth. Alfonso Rivas has replaced Simmons in the lineup to play first base and bat seventh.

numberFire’s models project Bote for 9.4 FanDuel points on Tuesday and he has a $2,300 salary. Rivas is projected for 8.8 FanDuel points with a $2,100 salary. Per our MLB Heat Map, the Cubs' implied total (4.93) is tied for sixth-highest in the majors on Tuesday.
